@TyneSnapper @Catus14 @JHCPAL Saw (and heard!!) my first Geordie parakeets in Churchill Playing Fields, Monkseaton a couple of Christmases ago.

I remember them being a novelty in London 15yrs ago but it seems they’re everywhere now!

Today's sunrise at St. Alban's Church, Earsdon, North Tyneside. Designed by John and Benjamin Green, also responsible for the likes of The Theatre Royal, Grey's Monument (the column bit, anyway), Penshaw Monument, and many, many more...

@jollybeggars @garethcox79 Perhaps a degree of fright with it being so high something new for the locals 😱

Newcastle's beautiful High Level Bridge captured yesterday. It blows my mind to think what people would have thought of this when it opened in 1849.

I made another sea glass lamp today. Sea glass and a storage jar and lights from a charity shop.

@TyneSnapper Probably late Victorian or Edwardian Steve. Apparently the swing type bottle came into use in the 1890's. I found another similar one last week.

@EPERiley @JHCPAL I'm up at Hillheads, will have to carry out a bird survey 👀

[Sparty Lea @EPERiley]

@TyneSnapper @JHCPAL I get lots Steve and think I am near you. Lots of trees on the bridleway though at the back of the garden and round the playing fields.
