Dreary day

Heysham Obs
Request for help: This site has survived 'in spite of' with just one day missed since the inception in mid-December. The problem has been that two of the key people (including the warden) cannot access the site from home computers. They have been given the username and password but end up in a loop with red writing saying they have not got the appropriate password after they have clicked 'sign in'.

Any solutions to/reasons for this please? Thanks. pbmarsh@btopenworld.com

Brief visit to the harbour mouth/NH wall
One Black Guillemot visible on top of the wooden jetty early afternoon in conditions not encouraging a lengthy stay. An adult Med Gull was along the NHW and in the harbour mouth but it could not be seen whether there was a metal ring above the knee = the returning Czech bird. Two other adult Med on the outfalls along with 5 Sandwich Tern in the Red Nab area

Mammals
Grey Seal off the harbour mouth
