Heysham Obs
Going through the motions with a powerwalk to the south harbour mouth to check an incoming ferry was rather better than expected but would probably have been even better staying at the car with the scope to sort a distant skua. Apologies for not putting this out at the time - no reception at the time or indeed until I reached home at 1600ish
Gate 38/south harbour 1135-1155
Great Skua - one behind freight ferry, then sat on sea
Skua spp - probably juv Pom - one flying out rather slowly - quite distant, then appeared top head across towards south Walney
Guillemot - usual bird
No Kittiwakes behind the ferry
Note this gate is locked
North wall
Goldfinch - 16 on seed
Moth
Dark Chestnut but this may have gone into the trap on the previous night
