6th June

Strong to near gale force winds with frequent rain restricted observations to the sea again which proved very productive. Nearly 13 hours of coverage saw 58 Common Scoters, 25 Common Terns, 26 Sandwich Terns, three Mediterranean Gulls, two Arctic Skuas, 60 Guillemots, 39 Fulmars and 292 Gannets and highlights in the form of two Puffins, eight Balearic Shearwaters and 324 Manx Shearwaters. Swifts also flew out to sea with 172 seen along with six House Martins.

Ten Porpoises and three Grey Seals were feeding offshore.
