Thursday catchup

The Red Kite seen on Tuesday was actually just beyond the recording area boundary on the bypass to the east of Imperial Rd.

A red kite flew low in front of a Travel Care bus, seen clearly by the driver. On the bypass between the White Lund and Heysham, being harried by half a dozen crows at 2.30pm Tuesday

Some oystercatchers have taken to 
feeding on the Horse field off Knowleys Road even when the skear is 
exposed presumably on earthworms
They have been joined at high tide by some turnstones and curlew

Snipe numbers on the north shore have increased since the recent cold 
weather though you can't see them on the beach until they are flushed by 
the tide.

Also some brent geese which were closer in as the wet weather reduced 
disturbance by dogs. They are not black and white photos it was just 
very dull.
