Top afternoon on the North Tyneside coast, starting with my first Roseate Terns of the year at Tynemouth on the rising tide, followed by a Little Tern feeding between the piers (never an easy species to connect with locally) and ended with the cracking adult Curlew Sand at SMI.

SS W J Taylor in for repairs at the Wallsend slipway, Newcastle upon Tyne in March 1880. Builder was CW Dodgin & Co of Low Lights, North Shields in 1872. Ship was sunk & raised off the bottom I believe.
