Nothing I am aware of from the 14th, certainly not from a very rapid circuit of the north wall
15th
Kingfisher - one by dipping pond Heysham NR (thanks Janet)
About 18 finches - 50:50ish Goldfinch/Linnet - on north wall seed. Still no lingering Twite despite a significant number much closer than last autumn/winter
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.
