BRS passes through

A brighter day today with just a few light showers. A cold NE light wind.

Ocean Edge Foreshore - Janet 
Black Redstart 1 female type quickly moved through at 12:20

Nice record shots. Janet was exercising a dog and only had her small lens.

Heysham skear - Malcolm 10:00 - 11:30
No Brent geese seen today, but the tide was still ebbing when I left.
Eider 106


They really are fine looking birds. Even the females aren't the plain
brown they look to be at distance
