Also worth phoning birdline north-east - we saw a Lesser Yellowlegs at the back of some allotments in a grotty town once, on they way back from Lindesfarne on an RSPB coach trip.

Theres an excellent book where to watch birds in Britain Simon Harrap and Nigel Redman should be in all birders cars when they leave their local patch.
As for the east coast well just head for any coastal spot near Newcastle and give it a go,
in fact plan a route home the long way taking in as much coast line as you can.
keep birding
