During this count, a bit of a seawatch from the back of the harbour and the first five minutes were 'amazing' by heysham standards in breezy but not particularly promising weather:
Sea 1255-1315
Guillemot - 1
Razorbill - 2 together
Gannet - adult out
Med gull - adult out
Then the rest of the seawatch consisted of a few large gulls
Miscellany
Med gull - 1cy outfalls
Little gull - ad outfalls
Cormorant - 122 wooden jetty
Redshank - 670 heliport wall
Oystercatcher - 6950 heliport - see how they don't mind being next to the tall vegetation but are in two lots either side of it with the near lot spilling on to the old heliport surface. Not all were displaced from the seawall on the 10m tide as the fresh/strong wind had no north in it.
Ringed plover - 18 heliport, 30 south of oe on incoming tide
Little stint - probably two different individuals ( one definitely a juv )
with other waders south of ocean edge on incoming tide
