Fordley North Tyneside

Fordley North Tyneside, a group on Flickr.

Out for a afternoon walk, hardly saw or heard anything except one obliging Robin who posed for me in a bush in the distance I saw the usual pheasants running and flying for cover. There was only a few gulls on the flood pond in a nearby farmers field.

Nearer to home there was a load of Goldfinch in a tree a pair of Mallard in the Burn. Also a brown bird flew fast and low through the plantation I had the impression of some sort of hawk but I lost sight of it in the trees.

A local passer by told me that they had seen woodpeckers in the trees near where I was standing only saw crows, pigeons and Blue Tit and the Mallard in the plantation.
