Wednesday provisional
Still no sign of the Brent Geese on north or south shore.
Kittiwake - 1 adult on No.2 outflow just after high water.
Storm Dennis didn't supply many bird sightings (some almost certainly missed). But did produce large racks of spume!
Hopefully more later
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.
