Just the routine stuff after minimal coverage.

A nice sunny day with a light northerly breeze.

Janet managed some nice shots of the Heysham Head Kestrel

I was busy all day today (MD). I had a quick look out to the shore from Knowlys Rd in passing, but couldn't locate any Brent Geese.

I also stopped off at the two main Ponds at Middleton Nature Reserve

Coot 10

Gadwall 4

Tufted Duck 2

This clip of three of the Gadwall ends with the beginning of a Long-Tailed Tit flock passing directly over my head. You can't see them but you can hear them.

No reports from the south shore today, but all these birds would certainly have been present. Taken by Janet and Edward Wilkinson earlier in the week.
