Heysham Obs
Getting used to having to use left eye wearing glasses for scope work (previously right eye without glasses)! Todays swirling seagulls and Manxies in the murk were a bit of a challenge.
Outfalls/Red Nab/Ocean Edge
Kittiwake - grotty adult type
Arctic Tern - two adults on seaward end Heysham one outfall as tide turned
Med Gull - just 4 x 2CY but different one from yesterday - could easily have missed one or two, but definitely none of older age classes
Black-headed Gull - c850
Common Gull - c60
Manx Shearwater - gang of 3 distantly out (at last!)
Gannet - two distant adults out
Only 20 minutes spent actually seawatching ie until Manx shearwater appeared!
