The undoubted highlight for me at the weekend was this Leach's Storm Petrel that came slowly past the fishing boats on Sunday afternoon. In the morning sea watching produced Good numbers of Sooty, Balearic and Manx Shearwaters as well as Great and Arctic Skuas. There were also many 1,000s of Hirundines moving South West out to sea.

Sea Watching this morning produced singles of Sooty and Manx Shearwater, 13 Arctic Skuas, 250 Gannets a few Terns and Scoter, not a bad haul for a couple of hours.
