I arrived at 5.45am, with Christian joining me 15 minutes later. It wasn't until 9.40am (Christain had left at this point) when a Storm-Petrel was picked up about a mile out moving slowly westwards, but also towards me. It was viewed for about 3 minutes before disappearing behind the wall.
Totals between 5.45-9.45am are:
Storm-Petrel - 1 moved west at about a mile range. The white rump was just about visible.
Manx Shearwater - 1 east
Eider - 5 on sea
Great Northern Diver - 3/4 on sea and in summer plumage
Common Scoter - ca. 100
Other bits seen today were mainly Orchids, with Birds Nest, Common Spotted, Fly, Greater Butterfly Orchids, White Helleborine and Common Twayblades.
Also hundreds of Swifts everywhere today.
