Spotted Redshank,Mullein Wave and 2P96 brighten a dull miserable day

Heysham Obs
Ocean Edge mid-afternoon dropping tide
Med Gull - 5, including 2P96 ringed by us last spring and a 'winter 'resident'
Spotted Redshank - Juvenile Ocean Edge saltmarsh creek (with an unpublishable awful record shot mobile phone & x 50 fixed telescope lens).  Always scarce and not annual here

Moths
Mullein Wave was a good record - quite sporadic here and Treble Bar reached 15 at one of its few Lancs sites where it is in abundance
