Heysham Obs
Osprey flew south over the Power Station then Middleton reserve at 0853hrs (thanks Bryan)
Spotted Redshank - juvenile with the high tide Redshank roost (264) along the rocky foreshore just south of OE saltmarsh
Just a couple of Meds at high tide
A good week for odds and ends of waders here
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.
