Please keep an eye open for any colour-ringed (Greenland) Knot now there are good numbers on the easier side of the harbour to observe them in the heliport area. They can be individually traced (providing you see both legs) - this one was photographed by Richard du Feu in January 09 and was ringed in Holland in September 08 (where they moult before moving WNW to this area)Heysham Obs
Heliport area
This is now a 'desire line' for dog walkers and this produced Scottie-driven flight-views of fleeing Knot and Oystercatchers
Knot - Circa 6,000 but couldnt find any 'flagged' or colour-ringed birds
No sign of the Black Redstart, even after scoping the whole tideline of Half-Moon Bay
North harbour wall
Twite - c55 but disturbed
Med Gull - just the Czech-ringed bird seen
Elsewhere
Nothing as yet
