Heysham skear - Malcolm 08:20 - 09:45

I went down "early" to watch the rising tide cover the skear. As I was walking out a flock of 400 Knot on the north side were under attack by a peregrine, then another flock of 1000 was lifted from the south side and they all left to the south. Later 2 small flocks of 90 and 23 were flying areound.

This handful of Knot were the only settled ones seen
A later check of the Near Naze and Heliport also saw no Knot
