Things are really kicking off on the outfalls now the outage has produced a full flow. A shortish visit on the incoming tide saw up to 450 Black-headed Gulls (all wandering 2CYs with obvious implications re-similarly wandering rares), 50-70 2CY Common Gull, lots of large gulls and some other odds and ends - see below:
Common Tern - at last!! Adult seaward end Heysham one briefly (with one of the Arctics), then flew around the jetty into the bay
Arctic Tern - Ad with the above and another remaining on the inner end of Heysham one throughout
Little Gull - 2CY briefly seaward end Heysham 2 then couldn't find it - may have flown with BHG towards Middleton
Swallow - 2 in-off
Re-security and telescopes etc at Red Nab and along the seawall by the outfalls. You will/may be paid a visit by security staff and will be expected to give full details - obviously something like a driving licence with you will help. So no change, but assume more regular patrols - there are no restrictions unless eg some idiot tries to photograph through the power station fence. In this respect you will be on camera at all times. The harbour police are responsible for the north harbour wall and area and the same situation as above applies
