Heysham Obs
Didnt have chance to check the bushes for Greenish Warbler, so the only birding comprised:
Outfalls area via harbour
Nothing other than a distant Ad Med Gull on the foreshore
Moths
Copper Underwing new for the year
Elsewhere
3 Spoonbill, several Little Egret and an Osprey in the Leighton Moss area
The observatory was set up in 1980. It involves ringing,'vis mig' counts (including seabirds) and general monitoring in the Heysham Nature reserve/power stations/harbour area. The statutory moth trap is in place and also a daily log for butterflies, dragonflies etc. We share an office, kindly provided by EDF Energy, with the County Wildlife Trust. This is located next to the Nature Reserve car park. Do call in. Please leave sightings in the letterbox, ESPECIALLY 'fly-by' seabirds.
