Northumbrian Birding

Decided to have a walk through the woods along the river to look for Dipper, another sunny day birds very active in places lots of Nuthatch calling, and three Woodpeckers drumming not with real vigour but still sounded great, found my Dipper but on a shaded stretch , also came across a Goosander that let me approach before paddling away upstream , more Goldcrests today feeding down on the branch tips, nothing exciting to see just a great walk with lots of atmosphere as the sun warmed the ground, called in at WH on the way back no SEO but the Harris Hawk on the lampost tops ,it just seems to fly up and sit for ages.
