A light westish wind, with sunshine in the morning, but heavy showers in the afternoon
South shore
Just a quick morning check from saltmarsh to Red Nab, found the "cupboard" pretty much bare! (MD)
No passerines on/around saltmarsh, one day I'll see what purges them.
Greenfinch 3 and Rock Pipit 1 on Red Nab
No Shelduck but c150 Wigeon on Red Nab.

Steve Brown checked Heysham Head whilst on dog walking duties and didn't fare much better, but at least he managed a couple of nice shots.
c25 Redshank, and 5 curlew on the shore, 1 Rock pipit, 2 Goldfinch and 5 Linnet over
Red-breasted Merganser 1 male

I checked the skear (MD)
