Sighting Description

An early start this morning at 05.35 but very little was passing. What did pass the shelter, however, was quite good with the highlight being a BALEARIC SHEARWATER passing extremely close in to the shore and offering some of the best land-based views I have ever had. In addition, there were also 2 Manx Shearwaters (1E at 05.49 & 1W at 06.08), 2 Mediterranean Gulls, 5 Sandwich Terns, 3 Commic Terns, 1 Razorbill and 4 Common Scoter. All in all, not without interest, but the written record sounds better than the experience actually was in practice - particularly when these few birds were spread over an hour and a half!
