Arctic Skua at Borth

At lunchtime today (Tuesday) I stopped briefly at Borth on my way home from Bronglais.
Terrible weather for watching but a single dark phase Arctic Skua was heading slowly south not far offshore and there was a single adult Med Gull with some Black-headed on the beach. It was impossible to count the Manx Shearwaters further out because of the rough seas but I would estimate about 15-20, circling rather than heading anywhere.
