Late post --(Strumble) but some good records

Thought you might be interested in my sea-watch at Strumble Head on Friday 26th August from 07.35 to 10.35. During this time I was the only observer.

Sooty Shearwater 1

Balearic Shearwater 1

Common Scoter 64

Oystercatcher 7

Knot 3

Calidrid sp 1 (Dunlin?)

Redshank 13

Whimbrel 5

Bonxie 1

Med Gull 1 1st winter

Little Gull 1 juv

Sandwich Tern 26

Common Tern 1

Arctic Tern 3

Little Tern 1

All of above moving west past sea-watch building, except for Med Gull which was feeding with Kittiwakes in tidal race.

Also a juv Marsh Harrier moved west along coast and 3 Swallows came in off the sea and headed SSE.

Lastly, I was sea watching again on Saturday 27th from 06.40 to 08.30. With so many others present that day I see that you have already have a record of what was seen.

Best wishes,
