South shore
Pale-bellied Brent geese 55 on Red Nab (Pete)
Jean checked from the round head:
I didn’t see much in 2 hours from the Roundhead today
3 Red-throated Divers (2 in and 1 out)
3 Whooper Swans (2 floating in and 1 flying south past the end of the wooden jetty)
2 Skylarks south
3 Pied Wagtails
2prs of Rock pipits in the harbour area, including the ringed male.
Heysham skear - low water 15:50 (MD)
My walk out coincided with a heavy squall driven by a strong SW wind, visibility was effectively zero!
It eased as I reached the western limit of the exposed skear, and revealed.......nothing!
Well, almost nothing, 18 Eider. No sign of any Brent geese.
But a bit of a bonus on the way back
Whooper Swan 4. Presumably blown in by the squall, they headed out over the skear, followed the coastline and then flew over Heysham Head.

| One good thing about looking back from the skear, there can be no doubting the location |
Looks like the wind is back to, the less productive, SE tomorrow
The water must be getting slightly warmer, this is the first anemone that I have seen open this year.
