Welcome 1st W Little Gull on Heysham 2 outfall on the early stages of the incoming tide
5 Kittiwake in SW corner of the harbour
Single Twite on the quay in SW corner of the harbour - a ringed bird but only metal ring seen.
From Ian Hartley: Jack Snipe flushed from Ocean Edge saltmarsh on the rising tide - please ask at reception before you cut through the caravan site to view this area
