Heysham Obs
This is the cr Grey Wagtail residing near the bottle dump on Middleton - the site code and BTO ring visible on the left leg. Thanks Janet.
The Guillemot was found floundering on Red Nab and was brought to the office by the Doggy Tired company (thanks Ann) and the best solution seemed to be to despatch it in the harbour by the waterfall where there is plenty of food and it would give the Shag some company......
The 2CY Shag was duly present

The observatory was set up in 1980. It involves ringing,'vis mig' counts (including seabirds) and general monitoring in the Heysham Nature reserve/power stations/harbour area. The statutory moth trap is in place and also a daily log for butterflies, dragonflies etc. We share an office, kindly provided by EDF Energy, with the County Wildlife Trust. This is located next to the Nature Reserve car park. Do call in. Please leave sightings in the letterbox, ESPECIALLY 'fly-by' seabirds.
