Irish Sea

Just back form a great trip on the Stena Europe, Fishguard to Rosslare ferry. See the Whales in Wales blog for details of the cetacean sightings.
On the bird front loads of Manx Shearwaters all the way across with quite a few Guillemots, Razorbills and Puffins. Strangely very few Gannets. 3 Storm Petrels were nice to see and near Rosslare a dark phase Arctic Skua put in an appearence harrying the local Sandwich Terns. An hour on the bridge in the evening was interesting with several Guillemots accompanied by youngsters just off the ledges and an early Sooty Shearwater put in an appearence amongst the Manxies
