Heysham Obs
Still have not felt the need to wear gloves or wear a coat since christmas, despite theoretical wind 'chill' doing the north harbour wall circuit.
North harbour wall & seawatch 1015-1045hrs
Twite/Linnet/Goldfinch - too much disturbance to spend time checking them - c50 mixed finches seen, possibly more
Rock Pipit - one along the seawall between the gate and harbour mouth
Med Gull - THREE adults, two in the harbour and one headed south during a seawatch. Also presumably the 2CY on the old Fisher's roof but at a bad angle to see wingtips
Red-breasted Merganser - 3 south
Guillemot - 2 on sea - one close inshore
No sign of any Purple Sandpiper on wooden jetty nor any incoming ferries to check
Heysham Nature reserve
Whilst helping to search for a lost teenager (thankfully found), a single Siskin flew south. Incidentally the missing dog posted the other day turned up just before dusk, having played a round of golf over the road
