Snippet of coverage

Heysham Obs
Mammals
Not a lot to offer today and the Trumacar stores billboard sometimes comes to the rescue on these occasions. Today saw a Freddie Starresque "Heysham Man Denies Hanging Dog" - good 'Have I Got Noose For You' material (the blanked-out words bit)? This sort of thing really does bring out the worst in some people - mention of this to others today prompted all sorts of black humour, when Daily Mail/Telegraph/Express upper lip horror was surely appropriate. Incidentally, what is the origin of a "hang-dog expression"?

Twite - 29 on the north harbour wall feeding station
Med Gull - one adult north wall

Elsewhere
A rare trip south of the Lune saw zero of note other than a female Merlin on Jeremy Lane
