About 520 Black-headed Gulls on the outfalls (220 on H1 and 300 on H2) at low tide. Med Gulls were hanging out in the usual area on the mud between H1 outfall and the wooden jetty, a 2S with a metal ring below the knee on the right leg and a 2S with a metal ring above the knee on the left leg and a green Darvic below the knee on the right leg bearing the letter AKRS. The latter is a German-ringed bird.
Later on at high tide what was thought to be a summer-plumaged adult Little Gull roosted at Red Nab.............but check tomorrow's posting!.
Moths of note:
Middleton:
Northern Eggar
Heysham Nature Reserve:
Peach Blossom - notable for its prettiness!
