Heysham obs
A battered looking angle shades was in the moth trap along with single winter moth and mottled umber. Is this migrant ?
Bird wise - quick check of the harbour and just offshore produced a cancelled IOM ferry and the usual guillemot
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.
