Overhead this morning were good numbers of hirundines feeding across the fields again whilst over 500 Meadow Pipits flew W.
Around the area were 12 Stonechats, a Wheatear, 2 Spotted flycatchers, 55 Blackcaps, a Whitethroat and 145 Chiffchaffs.
At 11:00 we were soaked in a heavy shower and decided to go to the shelter in the Bay. After coffee we started a seawatch at 11:30 lasting until 16:30. In this time, with birds all moving S, we had up to 2500 Gannets, 2 Great Skuas, a Pomarine Skua, 26 Arctic Skuas and a Manx Shearwater. Apart from these there were 100 Kittiwakes, 150 Mediterranean Gulls and, incoming, 2 Kestrels and 3[possibly 6] Hobbys.
Up to 5 Harbour Porpoises feeding just offshore.
