I had to get back in time for Sunderland's FA Cup tie against Notts County so spent the morning ticking off some of the commoner birds I'd yet to find.
I bagged a Greenfinch early on, a positive tick as they can be really tricky round here. It took me 8 months to get one last year.
Knowing the lake would ice-free now, I went up expecting an easy couple of ticks and fulfilled those expectation wth a couple of Cormorant and a distant Great Crested Grebe. Surprisingly I couldn't find a Stonechat, but I have no fear on that front.
Lastly to 'Mippit Meadow' where I nabbed, much to my surprise, a Meadow Pipit. I'll be back up tomorrow hoping for something a bit better.
