Nothing special, but some nice stuff around

 A blustery south wind.mainly overcast with some showers around lunchtime. 

Report from Steve Brown:

A walk from Heysham Village across the Barrows to check the Head and the Heliport wall roost.
Half moon bay
10 Turnstone, 5 Meadow Pipits, 2 Rock Pipits, and a pied Wagtail.

Pied Wagtail 

The Heliport roost was a mix of mainly Oystercatchers, Redshank and Turnstone, also present were  a small number of Knott, at least 7 Dunlin and 2 Snipe.

Some of the waders on the old Heliport wall

Then the rain came so I decided to return via Barrows Lane, where as a bonus bird I got a Grey Wagtail, by the play area.
