At long last a SE wind and at long last a reasonable sea-watch. We sea-watched from 07.15 (dawn) to 09.45 (when the passage appeared to have finished). Good numbers of Auks were moving but most were to far out for identification, a very close Black-throated Diver but the highlight was a Woodlark which came in off the sea @ 09.20 and then flew around for several minutes before heading inland over the cliffs.
