Sea watch

The strong westerlies (WSW/F6-7) continue to pummel the south coastline. A morning sea watch from La Falaise was interesting enough with quite a few balearics passing by: at least eight, plus another three distant shearwater sp that were more than likely of the same ilk. A few auks and terns too; and mipits were over the sea trickling through, plus a few hirundines etc.
