Heysham Obs
A successful day for the visit by the Twite Recovery project team organised by the RSPB (Kerry Jenny & Tim). As well as the highest count of the year (53), the group were able to see a small catch in the hand which included a Machrihanish-ringed bird. Thanks to Emma for facilitation and use of the classroom
