Ginger Dunlin at Tynemouth

We went looking for the mandarin at Tynemouth today. We didn't see it but we got another surprise. A dunlin flew in from the sea and landed on the grass. It had a lovely plumage and I had been looking forward to the dunlin returning. This marks the start of the wader season! Dunlin

  3. Hello Jack, nice to have you back, Ive had a couple of short breaks too due to workloads hence the delay in catching up with you since your return. Lovely pics of the Dunlin, Linda
