Nasty day
Plan today was to check out the bird alert for 'Black terns' in Bigwaters, but the weather was really awful this morning, so we decided to do the asda run instead....uurgh. Trying to park in that place is a total nightmare! even on a sunday, and to say the hubby doesnt like shopping is an understatement! if he had his way supermarkets and people with pushchairs trying to push past 2 or 3 trolleys in the aisles should be neuked from the planet....so after we finished our shop we popped over to the pond in the buisness park for 5mins to see if any of the mallards or canadas had produced any chicks...
A couple of years ago I saw Waxwings at both Ashington and Blyth Asda. I did the rest of the shopping with a spring in my step. The car park in Lidl's is a bit sparse. I think it has been mown down with disabled scooters.
lol....shoppings becoming a real pain these days....theyve actually cut down just about all the bushes etc they had around the car park in asda where the birds used to nest so we dont get the chance to see any here now...unless we go to asda benton which is right next door to 'rising sun nature reserve'. Hubby doesnt mind that because he pushes me into the shops and he vanishes....hmmph men!
I prefer to do the shopping without my wife; she spends too much money. I like to leave a bit of room in the boot for my scope and use the shopping trip as an excuse to call into Bothal pond and Longhirst flash on the way home!
We are a married couple who enjoy just getting into the car every weekend and exploring northumberland. We enjoy bird and wildlife watching and after a busy week at work its more than a welcome break. Some of our favourtie places are Cresswell, Druridge, Hauxley, Boulmer, Newton-by-the-sea, alnwick moors, rothbury (lee) coquet valley.
