A peregrine Falcon just after it caught a Storm Petrel yesterday

After yesterdays unprecedented sea watch when 203 Leach's Petrels & 84 Storm Petrels were seen along with 2 Sabine's Gulls, a Grey Phalarope and 4 Purple Sandpipers of particular note were recorded I didn't expect today to be very good, I'm happy I was wrong.
