Sunderland list continues to trickle along. Now up to 101 species including this Med Gull at Ryhope last week. Still at least 12 'easier' birds to get before the spring migrants arrive.

Managed to pick up the Adult Iceland Gull at Washy from the Cox Green side of the river. Sunderland list increasing slowly after struggling to motivate myself over the first month and half. #NEBirding

Connected with the local SEOs yesterday. Goldeneye on the river this morning. Otter also showed nicely. 80 species up for Sunderland. #NEbirding

Sunderland year list ticking along nicely at 58. Whooper Swan at Herrington at the weekend. Now to hope the Ross's Gull does the right thing and hangs on till the weekend and spends its time in Durham!
