Balearic Shearwaters

 Out early and sea watching from the brickhouse by 0630. Around 2000 Manx shearwaters milling about and then a very close Balearic shearwater flew south with a group of Manxies followed by another one south some 15 minutes later. About 50 Sandwich terns off-shore and a few Med gulls and kittiwakes. By 0800 most shearwaters had flown south so back home for coffee.
