Wet and Miserable

Both of us finished work at lunchtime today and thought we'd have a snack lunch at riverside park in ashington on the way to the widdrington farm shop. Caught a glimpse of a stoat dashinging across the road into the next field. The poor gulls were being buffeted about on the river, a mix of black-headed gulls and a few med-gulls. A little grebe showed up and stayed for 5 mins or so before we left. Nice to see the 2 pied-wagtails running around the farm shop car park as usual. Cresswell pond was really high and vey choppy but too cold and wet to stick around for long. Winds are forecast here at home and up the coast tomorrow 19-22 mph southwesterly, but inland seems a little less blustery so think probably decide in the morning where to visit
