A light south wind. Rain began about 09:00 and continued till after lunch.
Shaun did an early circuit:
Morning. 07:00-08:30. Had a stroll over Heysham Head to the Helipad and back before the rain arrived.
Stonechat female on HH.
Pink-footed Goose 140+50 north.
Walked along base of the cliffs on the way back and had 4 pairs of Rock Pipits! Pretty sure none got back in front of me.
I checked from Red Nab to saltmarsh after the rain had started (MD)
Blackbird 7 feeding on the short grass near the pond in the Nature Park. Although possibly as much to do with no dogs being around than grounded birds.
Rock Pipit 1 on Red Nab
Shelduck 1
Wheatear 5 along the foreshore

| One of the foreshore Wheatears - likely a first winter male |
And that was about it. Apart from, I stopped briefly in passing on Imperial Rd. These two Greylag Goose were flying south towards Middleton Nature Reserve. A clip, taken through a rain covered windscreen. I wouldn't normally post it, but it does demonstrate there is wildlife to be seen here without having to leave your car.
