Info Post
Paul G & I undertook a seawatch from 8am to 11.30, joined by Wdigbirder & Rich D from 10am, totals included:

Pomarine Skua 3 juvs (1 after PG & left)
Great Skua 7
Great Northern Diver 5
Red-throated Diver 5
Common Scoter 17 (2 females)
Manx Shearwater 4
Puffin 1 (late!)
Wigeon 2

A sample 5 minute count of auks came up with 1,440 per hour. Kittiwakes also moving in good numbers, maybe around 20-30 Fulmar and similar numbers of Gannets.

On to Pen Anglas where we were treated to great views of a male Dartford Warbler by the coast path. A search of suitable habitat around the Llangloffan/Castlemorris area failed to produce any Tree Sparrows. We finished up at the Dowrog with 3 Hen Harriers (2 males & 1 juv), 2 Short-eared Owls hunting in daylight, and a Barn Owl doing the same. Stopped in Camrose on the way home and heard a Tawny Owl calling and saw another fly across the road. Owl-tastic!
