Was that an Ark I saw go by?

Here we go again. Rivers Pont and Blyth on flood alert so Prestwick Carr should overflow the drains by the weekend. The Bar tailed Godwit was still hanging around yesterday but I haven't been brave, or daft enough, to step outside yet today.

I went up to Whittle Dene yesterday in search of Yellow Wags but the weather was just turning dreech and the only birds about were thirty or so House Martins over the western reservoir along with a few Sand Martins and Swallows.

Portly little chaps when you get a side view. Perhaps I'll come back as a House Martin in my next life.
