The feeder nets next to Heysham nr office were used today and produced 29 new greenfinch amongst a catch of over 60 birds. Other species included willow warbler, chiffchaff, blackcap, reed warbler and whitethroat.
A visit to the outfalls coincided with a spell of blazing sunshine and the great mass of gulls on the sands to the south of ocean edge were black silhouettes against glistening wet mud.
Better luck the other way with 14 meds on red nab/outfalls including 7 juvs.
