‘I was much older then, I’m younger than that now!’ Birding the magnificent county of Northumberland, particularly walking my home patch of the Aln Estuary and environs. Combined with a little wanderlust.

Hello Alastair, My trousers made by Next, they are a couple of years old, but I think they still make them.

Just a thought. I’m Inputting my archive bird records from Northumberland 1974-1982 into @ebird What is so striking, compared with now, is the numbers of scarce winter birds such as LapBunt, SnowBunt, and Shorelark. We recorded 30+ but now we get excited about one or two.

On my way to St James’ Park for the NewcastleV Man U match curtesy of my friend Ian Armstrong. Hopefully this Black and White Warbler will bring some luck!
