YC took advantage of a beautiful mild autumn day and headed up to Cresswell on the Northumberland Coast. After a run on the beach and quick dip in the sea (sans wet suit - chilly), he checked out the hide at Cresswell Pond. A jack snipe was bobbing in the reeds in front of the hide, while lots of lapwings and common snipe sat on the mudbank. Offshore a large pod of dolphins was feeding, giving tremendous views as they leaped out of the sea.
Meanwhile in Haddington (home to the Telfer family), the rodents have been making their presence felt. JT returned from a weekend in the Lakes to be greeted with his prize for propping up the Man(or) Mouse competition. Eek!
