So that was the trip. A lot of fun but also very hard work. Six counties in six days, and about 220 miles covered as follows.
Newcastle to Blyth - 21.5 miles
Blyth to Seahouses - 50.7 miles
Seahouses to Eyemouth - 40.7 miles
Eyemouth to Haddington - 35 miles
Haddington to Edinburgh - 30.5 miles
Edinburgh to Fife - 38.6 miles
I saw a lot of birds, a surprising number really, with a total of 103 species seen between Newcastle and Fife. East Lothian was the most productive, perhaps due to that dedicated session at Musselburgh, followed closely by Northumberland. Both counties are now close to 100 species - on my next drive up or down I will try and put that right. Here's the list in spreadsheet form, and if you wanted to see it in eBird it can be found here. Here also is Mrs L's non-organisational contribution to the trip.
