On the forecast for the next few days, possibly worth checking the nooks and crannies of sheltered water/flotsam etc for Grey Phalarope (and make sure offshore detritus isnt a moribund Frigatebird). Not sure whether the direction and strength combined will produce a dose of Leach's - clearer by Saturday pm with early Sunday morning perhaps looking the most promising..........but it can all so easily change! On the current projected synopsis, if there are any birds Saturday pm, EARLY Sunday am at Heysham NHW could produce close views as they fly out in the recent veer to NW after an overnight SW/W gale. Please dont waste your time seawatching at Jenny B.P. Sunday morning as per 1st October!
