Heysham Obs
The 3CY Med returned for a short period at high tide, along with a 'new' adult female. Hardly anything was singing and even the Twite were quieter than usual at this time of year. A trilling call sounding like an overflying Snow Bunting was heard during a mid-morning visit by Jean, but no bird could be located in the bright sunlight
North harbour wall
Twite - at least 91
Med Gull - The now darvic-ringed 3CY returned for a short period before being seen later in the afternoon around Morecamhbe old lifeboat station by Snow Bunting watchers, along with a 'new' adult female - the wintering adult female had a more advanced summer plumage on the head. These are the first Med sightings since the 3CY was ringed
