Thursday - belated

Sorry about the short intermission, hopefully back to "normal" now.

Stiff west breeze with intermittent showers.

Thanks to the observers below for providing these records.

This flock of second calendar year Knot seen by Tim and Janine (F) on Wednesday 13:30. It is a decent size for this late in the year.

Heysham skeer - Thursday evening

A check of the low water channels found no waders other than Oystercatchers and a couple of Curlew. No diving birds seen on the water, just a pair of Eider having a rest on a mid skeer pool.

Have you lost, or can you identify, this bird?

This escaped cagebird finch was seen and photographed by John (D) in his garden. Not within my ability to identify (MD)
