A single Bean Goose was very close to the road in the field opposite the opencast between Ashington and Longhirst. There was also lots of Fieldfares and Redwings feeding along roadside hedges.
Other birds of note included five Purple Sandpipers with a flock of Oystercatchers, Redshanks and Turnstones roosting near Snab Point, Cresswell at high tide.
