September Shearwaters

Shearwater influx along the south coast. Winds: SSW/F7 gusting. 28/09/2021.
A quick look off Ventnor 7am: 1 Arctic Skua and two Balearic Shearwaters. West.
Then moved onto SCP (8am), met Derek there (he'd already had a few Balearics before 9am) and had a total of 17 (west) by 10:15, including a flock of five, close in. 
Back to SCP later on, afternoon, 14:45 - 17:00, and one Sooty Shearwater and two more Balearics went by west. Nick had three sootys at Ventnor (28th) and one on 30th.
