Arguably the best seawatching in Cornwall for the last week or so, a decent haul of shearwaters including two Great Shears' was enough to put a smile on our faces. Albeit distant, the distinctive jizz, black cap and white underparts could be seen. A difficult and distant adult Sabine's Gull was the first for the year whilst a large raft of feeding Manx Shearwaters and Gannets offshore was quite a sight.
(Note: above Great Shearwater was taken by myself on last year's Scillonian Pelagic).
Additional totals are as follows:
9 Balearic Shearwater
1000+ Manx Shearwater
5 Sooty Shearwater
3 Cory's Shearwater
2 Great Shearwater
1 ad Sabine's Gull
4 Arctic Skua
6 Great Skua
1 Storm Petrel
9 Whimbrel
1 Peregrine
