Little gull - There were three feeding on No.2 outflow at high water.
A first winter waife
This adult with damaged primaries
And this adult with some form of growth on right wing
All this watched by a grey seal
Which in turn was being followed by the large gulls
Still no sign of the Brent geese on north or south side.
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.
