Wild and windy Lindisfarne

It's been wild and wet last night with the wind strengthening into today. This unseasonable weather certainly makes it feel more like winter than summer and there is undoubtably a knock on effect for wildlife.

If you are out over the next couple of days stay clear of roosting, breeding and resting birds on the shore and dunes as they will be struggling. It's particularly true of breeding birds that will be attempting to keep eggs warm as well as stopping them from being buried in the moving sand.
