Two lingering Twite but little else

Heysham Obs
The wind was a problem today - far stronger than forecast (especially late afternoon) and not from a particularly helpful direction (WNW).  Not a lot happened!

North harbour wall
Gannet - one very distant
Red-throated Diver - 3 seen
Twite - two with this year's colour-rings still on the feeder
White Wagtail - 2 Ocean Edge foreshore (& 6 Pied)

Moneyclose Lane by dog walk track
Two singing male Willow Warbler & singing male Blackcap

Moths
Decent numbers for here but nothing new.  Third Diurnea fagella of the year is some kind of record!
