Common inkcap...Abbey meadows
Russian comfrey...High stanners
Back to work this weekend and no days off until the end of the week. On Thursday (7th) I walked around Pegswood moor in a howling gale. Lesser Whitethroat in the green area and in the quarry bit 12 Wheatear but this time 7 males and 5 females. On friday despite the heavy showers I cycled 15 miles around Harwood forest. One Crossbill the only bird of note. Very wild and blustery up there, it was more like January than May! Posted a few pics from Morpeth taken yesterday.

Speaking to a local at Kielder a few weeks back he was saying its been a poor Crossbill year - hardly any cones.
Have you ever checked Longhirst Hall?
I've passed it 100s of times, even golfed there (15 years ago) and always thought I'd give it a go but never have.
I haven't really had a good look around Longhirst hall. I see a Green woodpecker was seen there recently.
