Balearic Shearwater, etc.

 Anticipating a good passage of Manx shearwater (first calm seas and no wind) I was very pleased to count c. 16000 Manxies go north between 0650 and 0915 when passage slowed to a trickle. Also delighted to get a Balearic shearwater north at 0715. Some 120 gannets north, two common terns and around 80 Sandwich terns added variety.
