Heysham skear - low water 15:30 (Malcolm)
Pale-bellied Brent goose 18 feeding in the skear corner.

This is their preferred feeding method when the tide allows. In shallow water where they can harvest the sea lettuce and gutweed without any mud attached. Plus a nice view of the South Lakes! |
Common Scoter just 5 female/immature today feeding near conger rock
