A small petrel was seen very briefly but enough to see it wasn’t a Leavh’s (or a house Martin, green sand, Black Tern etc!) and looked like a Storm Petrel. A great wadge of poor visibility soon after locating it knocked the record on the head
Most of the early morning seawatching was from the stone jetty between 8 and 11(thanks Nick)
Sea 0815 to 1245 (Heysham unless stated)
Arctic Skua - two off sj, one in at lunchtime
Fulmar - one sj
Kittiwake - flock of 5
Gannet - 11 or so off Sj
Sandwich tern - two
Guillemot - one sj
Little gull - ad heysham two before ht
Med gull - ad, 2cy and 1cy outfalls/Red Nab
Landbird wise totally dead as also confirmed by Colin on Walney - the forecast doesn’t look too good with only next Thursday looking possible in the next fortnight and Thursday is always the most difficult day for coverage.
