A late afternoon stroll by the Aln from Alnmouth to Lesbury, very atmospheric in the snow flurries.
A large group of Wigeon were whistling in the waterlogged grass alongside Curlew.
At least 20 Mallard were on the river along with 2 female Eider plus a male and female Goosander in the company of a male and female Red-breasted Merganser.
Finally, by the Iron Bridge, in fading light, a singleton Fieldfare was feeding in a garden's apple tree, still bedecked with fruit.
Excellent first post Mick, thanks. Keep an eye on those apples, they might get a waxwing too.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Mick, both to AWG and to our Blog. Interesting that you saw pairs of both Merganser and Goosander together.
