Northumbria
Visiting birders/birdwatchers to Dumfries and Galloway may find birding in Northumbria of interest. It's only a couple of hours drive away to get to the east coast!
The Buckingham Press Best Birdwatching Sites : North-East ENGLAND is highly recommended.
However, Buckingham Press I believe have ceased trading. So you'll have to obtain copies where available. I understand that the Best Birdwatching Sites series is being revised, to be published from 2024 by the new publisher.
