Bits and bobs still on the sea from the last two days

North harbour wall

Yesterday – 06.30 – 07.35

3 Sandwich Terns

3 Swallow NE

2 Shelduck (looked like the pair from my previous visit – the female had distinctive white markings on head – but no sign of any of the ducklings. The pair flew off and I saw them again I think when i moved up to Middleton.

 

Today – 10.45 – 11.05 ish

1 adult Little Gull flew in and landed on oil-jetty skear

19 Commic Terns flew out to gather around stage 1 outfall. I went round to see if any were Common but by the time I got through gate 38 and onto the south wall they had moved on.

[Pom Skua and c17 Arctic and one Black tern entered the bay early morning at Rossall]

Thanks for the info, Pete
