The first 30 seconds of this mornings seawatch produced 2 Sooties & a Stormy! Bit of a change compared to recent days. The following two hours saw some nice passage with most of the Manx & Fulmars going through highlighted by mega views of a Great Shear & Sab's Gull and a few nice skuas.
A mere 95 Manx were logged in 3 hours this afternoon so we decided to call it a day at 4pm!
