Trip to Newcastle.

A trip to Newcastle gave me a chance to catch up with a few species that I haven't seen for a while.

Kestrel.
Little Owl - not seen one of these since Oct 2008.
Smew - not seen one of these since early 2008. I've never had a view this good though.
Splendid looking bird.
Good to see the bird stretch it's wings.
I hadn't seen Roe Deer since 2007.
It was good to get into a feeding station and see the likes of Great Spotted Woodpecker...
...Magpie...
...Nuthatch...
...and Stock Dove.
A quick trip to the coast produced Short-eared Owl...
...and Tree Sparrow.
A trip to Turkey followed this so that'll be the next post.
