Aberystwyth seawatch

A keen NNW breeze kept the temperature down as I settled on a bench at Castle Point at 7.45 this morning for an hour long seawatch.
It started with a Canada Goose and ended with a late spring Sandwich Tern, both heading north as was almost everything else.
In between, I logged 16 Gannets, 90 Manx Shearwaters and 19 Kittiwakes. A Guillemot went by with two Razorbills, but other passing auks, including a party of ca30, were too distant for specific i.d.
