Heysham Obs
North harbour wall
Med Gull - adult (Czech-ringed) and 2CY
Finches - mobile flock with the ratios approximately 10 Goldfinch, 20 Twite, 2 Linnet. Not helped by a photographer loitering far too close to the feeding station - his presence a direct result of pics being published elsewhere yesterday. The reason for his location, on the far side of the feeding station, was obviously due to the time of day and blinding sunlight when trying to look from the car. In other words, this site is not suitable for photography during the morning on sunny days as it is not possible to get 'on the other side of the birds' without disturbing everything
