Strumble....late records & useful thoughts

Just to add some information re the seawatches on 15th and 16th. It can be worthwhile staying for an evenings session

The afternoon/evening of the 15th birds were still moving although in lower numbers until dusk. We saw at least 10 more Bonxies and 5 Arctic skuas, a Leaches Petrel, A Black Tern. Also two Sabines Gull and 3 Balearic shears in a feeding flock. One of the Sabs was on view for at least half an hour.

Today the 16th although slower than yesterday still produced a few more Great and Arctic Skuas, one very brief leaches petrel, a black tern a Red Throated Diver, a 1st winter med gull and two Sabines Gulls plus 2-3 Balearic Shearwaters off shore in a feeding flock.
