An eventful few days of not really birding on our city break to Newcastle. A juvenile great northern diver in the Tyne, about 40 feet away - first time I've ever seen one of these. Then herons, curlews, gadwalls, and a peregrine all spotted while running along the Tyne around dawn. I'm guessing it's the wrong time of year to see kittiwakes - although TBH I'm not very good at telling small gulls apart.
