Deer Park last night had several hundred Manxies in a feeding frenzy around 1km North of Wooltack at around 1900hrs. On the way back we watched three peregrines, most likely an adult and a couple of the juveniles, playing in the wind, chasing each other (and the odd gull), practicing hovering, and mobbing a buzzard. That bird decided that its best bet was to sit on a post and hope they would all go away; they did, eventually.
After a pretty strong Westerly blow during the night, this morning it is veering North Westerly which may push more interesting sea birds into St Bride's Bay: in July this gave us really good daytime views of a Stormie from Wooltack, so I live in hope.
