Ian - have you emigrated?

I spent the morning seawatching from Heysham - Pete Marsh was hoping the Rossall Velvets would drift past but obviously nothing doing. I did get the usual stuff including the Black Guillemot and Purple Sand - also had the Wood Sandpiper at Mythop on the way home!

A few more spells north and you might get Lancastrian citizenship!
