Arctic Tern

The Bonaparte's Gull was still present today making lots of funny sounding calls. It did however seem to disappear from time to time, maybe to the south end of the beach.

I seawatched from 13:00 - 17.30 and was joined by Will at around 4pm.

Totals were:

5 Arctic Skua - 2 dark phases fairly close in.

1 Skua sp.

20 Balearic Shearwaters

2 Manx Shearwaters

2 Shearwater sp.

1 Fulmar

16 Common Terns

1 Arctic Tern - a juv. Got a nice comparison with a Common Tern. Patch tick for me :)

14 'Commic' Terns

10 Auks

7 Common Scoter

c70 Kittiwakes

3 LBBG - juvs

Probably 30 each of Gannet and Sandwich Tern
