The sound of a woodpecker hammering away across the river on Dunston Staithes captured the imagination, as did a large Salmon which leaped clear of the water in front of the staithes.
Drove around to the opposite bank at Timber Beach and Costco where there was about a dozen Curlew with Redshank, Lapwing and Ringed Plover.There were 4 Tern screeching overhead but by then it was too dark to get a useful pick
Generally the wader numbers are increasing.
Whilst on this side of the river I noticed some fungi under the north side of some trees and although it was near to dark thought I'd try flash
Th Fungi ident book seems to have gone walkabout so if anyone can assist it would be appreciated

That's a nice post. I'll see if I can be of any help with the fungi. L
Thank goodness numbers are building as my last two webs counts have been dire.
Have you seen any Shelduck broods? Last year there were at least three but I haven't seen any sign this year although not been down as often as I would like.
