Bits and bobs
Heysham Outfalls/Red Nab
Arctic Tern - adult resting on Red Nab, Common or Arctic on outfalls briefly
Common Scoter - two between the power stations outfalls, then flew into the bay at 10.20
Med Gull - 2CY Red Nab, adult seaward end Heysham one briefly
Black-headed Gull - leucistic bird (beware!)
Offshore
A visiting birder had
Gannet - one out distantly
Fulmar - two out close
No obvious sign of Red veined Darter Middleton in highly marginal conditions that in fact didn't produce anything resembling a dragonfly!
The Hut moth trap in its present configuration is not performing well. The current records will not be usable for comparison with other years. It didn't perform last night because the electrics were off but that allowed anything from the two previous unchecked nights to clear off! In this respect, given the small numbers, no incentive to check it if it involves going out of your way
