Heysham Obs
About an hour was spent watching the sea just after high tide as per the forecasted change in wind to SW. It appeared, however, to have hanged a bit earlier than that and some stuff may have been missed as the action was all in the first 15 minutes. In order of appearance 0915-0930:
Sea 0912-1010 intermittently
Black Tern - singleton slowly but rather distantly 'in'
Common Scoter - flock of 9 'out'
Gannet - flock of 7 'in' at the same time as two more distant birds 'out'
Great Skua - one out at a rapid rate of knots low over the sea down the 'shipping lane'
Outfalls area/Red Nab
LOTS of large gulls but nothing of interest
Little Egret - 3 around
Whimbrel - 4 Red Nab
Moth
Brown House Moth
