Hartlepool Headland

January 09, 2015

A brief windy visit to the Hartlepool Headland produced a good number of waders.  First up were the regular waders Oystercatchers, Curlew and Turnstones then a flock of 10 Purple Sandpipers flew in Boom. New year tick!!!

There were no White-winged Gulls to be seen but a good Number of Eider Ducks were floating just of the shoreline.  This is only the 2nd time I have seen Eider Ducks in the wild 

 

Other birds seen in the area were 200+ Starlings, 2 Pied Wagtails, Numerous Gulls, 1 Rock Pipit 10+ Cormorants.  A Good 2 hours in the North East
