Heysham Obs
Not as windy as forecasted this morning and a fair amount of singing going on. However, a check of Middleton, with 30 minutes within audible range of anything singing in the marshes, only produced one of the two singing Cetti's Warblers (the no swimming pond bird), no Grasshopper Warbler and just a single singing Sedge Warbler of 'new' interest. A Water Rail called from the western marsh reedbed
