A beautiful sunny morning. We met up with KG and sea-watched from 06.00-10.00 and RKH, RES, and KH joined us. Much less moving this morning although Mediterranean Gulls were again moving towards the end of the sea-watch and the highlight were 7 Manx Shearwaters. We then covered Belle Tout wood, Shooters Bottom, the Old Trapping Area, Icky Ridge and the Cliff Path. LP also covered a number of sites on the Headland. Again disappointing number of night migrants seen.
