Heysham Obs
Not a morning for glasses-wearers in fine drizzle and poor visibility. Decent numbers of the 'obvious' =Wheatear made you wonder what of the non-obvious might have slipped through. However, coverage not at all bad and thanks the Bill and Janet for early morning Middleton visits (and Malcolm's and Justine's on previous days)
