Why don't you send me an email, so I can add a entry about your visit to the Field Centre?
1st July 2009. Thirty-one Avocets including juveniles can be seen around Teesmouth. Hopefully everyone should get chance to see or photograph them this year.
4th June 2009. Tonight at the Field Centre a family of Linnets paid a visit to the trees outside. Mum, Dad and three young ones were entertaining to watch. Also a family of foxes were seen in the late evening sunshine.
20th April 2009. A Short-eared Owl was hunting opposite the Field Centre this evening and two Grey Partridge were also enjoying the evening sunshine. The first Swallow flew over the Field Centre on Saturday 18th April and this evening there are four.
10th April 2009. Happy Easter from Staff and Volunteers of the Teesmouth Field Centre. Hopefully you will be able to find time to watch wildlife either around the Tees Estuary or at home. The migrant birds such as Sand Martin, Swallow and House Martin are starting to arrive in our area. It is amazing to think that they have flown all the way from Southern Africa to spend our summer months with us. Wildflowers are appearing in the saltmarshes and I have seen a few Butterflies whilst I have been outdoors.
29th March 2009. Today was our first Springtime Seal Watch and the seals took advantage of the morning sunshine after yesterday's horrible weather. Forty-seven seals were present in Seal Sands; 44 Common Seals and 3 Grey Seals. Despite losing sleep due to the clock changing all our visitors enjoy the birds and mammals seen from the Hide. Before the Seal Watch started, early visitors enjoy good close views of two Foxes near the Field Centre.
2nd January 2009. What a start to the Birdwatching year! A Glaucous-winged Gull was found and identified near Cowpen Bewley. The bird was in amongst the thousands of gulls that live around the North Tees Marshes. If accepted, it is only the 2nd record for the UK.
1st January 2009. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! |
