Whitley Bay Cemetery
Not far from the ‘Chapel’, it was easy to obtain excellent views of a Wryneck, which has been present over the past few days. Over the years I’ve always enjoyed the cemeteries visiting birds especially the Black Redstarts.
St Mary’s
Close to the ‘Wetland’, a Grasshopper Warbler was reeling. Nearby there were Chiffchaffs, Willow Warblers, Sedge Warblers, Whitethroats and a Blackcap. Close to the cliffs over a dozen Sand Martins were feeding, whilst a group of 10 Sanderlings rested below. There was no sign of any Sandwich Terns. Skylarks, Meadow Pipits, Reed Buntings and Linnets were out in good numbers.
