Heysham Obs
In general, there were lots (100+) of large gulls around today with a high proportion of immatures and if this is sustained, looks good for a passing 'white-wing' in the next few days. Concentrations on Heysham 2 outfall and the harbour intake area. No obvious evidence of passerine movement this morning.
