BIRDING ON THE TEES


Went down to The Holme on the river Tees to have another look at the Black Tailed Godwits, they were still in situ and I counted about 20. Canada and Greylag geese also well represented and a flock of about 80 Godfinches kept twittering away all around. While I was watching the water a female roe deer cantered across my field of vision. I was a bit surprised as unless it cares to swim across the Tees it is hemmed in by a dual-carriageway road to the west and Stockton to the south. Still it didn't seem perturbed. Blackberries are in full fruit so I helped myself to some food for free.
