Aberystwyth seawatch

An hour's seawatch from 7.30 this morning.; everything heading north into the brisk NW wind.  Manx Shearwaters most numerous at 780, many of them very close in.
Less expected were the auks, 160 in groups of 5 - 15 but including one tight flock of ca45.  Almost all within range were Guillemots.
Two Fulmars were close in, and in the distance were a few Gannets and Kittiwakes.
