Dark-eyed junco tongue studies, from Hartlepool yesterday evening. Back today and hopefully will hang on until the weekend for more distant birders to get a helping. Many thanks to the VERY generous resident too. Durham Bird Club teesbirds NorthYorksBirdNews BirdGuides RSPB

Great views of the Dark-eyed Junco in Hartlepool, really appreciative of the access and glad I took a work bench to stand on.

Redstart male and female - after this I decided to go home and went down into the valley - got so far up the other side and the snow came down and the car would hardly go up the hill!! What a day!! Durham Bird Club

Great find by Stu Thompson today on the local patch, actively feeding, calling and showing well. Durham Bird Club
