This morning in thick mist and drizzle,I checked out Whitley Bay cemetery for any migrants and among an active tit flock.\u00a0A splendid Yellow browed Warbler gleaning insects from the foliage was found,watched at close range,quite an early date for this species in the county. Also among the Blue, Long-tailed,Great and Coal Tits, was a nice Wood Warbler,actually rarer at the coast in autumn than Yellow browed! A Garden Warbler,then 2 calling Brambling were seen too.<\/p>\n
Heading down to St Mary’s,a Yellow browed had been found here too and a Red breasted and Pied\u00a0Flycatcher. (A. Curry). As I headed along the main track,a second Yellow browed appeared. 2 Wheatears were on the Island,with a male Brambling and several Robins. Another Brambling back in the main Wetland bushes and a few Goldcrests. Lastly a Garden Warbler seen and a Lesser Whitethroat. Waders included the large Golden Plover flock and 100+ Sanderling,a ringed bird having returned to this site for it’s 4th autumn\/winter.<\/p>\n
