Nothing happening yesterday other than a Canary-shouldered Thorn in the office trap
An enforced stay this evening - horrendous accident plus having no car led to plans being changed and the Swallow roost will be visited in an hour or so
In the meantime, two adult and a 2CY Med around the office targeting flying ants
The Swallow roost held about 400 birds of which 75 were ringed. One Grasshopper Warbler singing regularly
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.
