A total of 125 Balearics were counted during the 4 - hours evening census. The wind blowed from WSW. Only 3 Bonxies and 2 Poms were watched, while the Cory’s passage seems to be increasing.

Still more SW winds, so not many birds on the move, with only a few Dunlin flocks in the morning. Instead the afternoon seawatch was great, with a constant passage of distant «Commic» Tern flocks totalling 134 birds in 1,45 hs. Unfortunatly it started raining so we had to stop. Some other numbers of today’s 5 hs count were 12 Little Terns, 65 Whimbrels, 2 Great Shearwaters (very close!), 20 Sandwichs, 2 poms, 1 Arctic and 8 Bonxies.

It kept blowing from SW, so the seabird passage wasn’t as good as yesterday. Instead, we had several wader flocks moving west close to the waves, most of them Dunlins and Whimbrels. Only 3 Pomarines and 7 Bonxies in 7,15 hs. There was a Hobby in the headland, an uncommon species here.

West winds provided 4 more LT Skuas today during the 6 hours count. Other Skuas counted were 29 Pomarines, 4 Arctic and 9  Bonxies. From early morning to late evening there was an almost continuous passage of close to 140 Cory’s/h. Other Shearwater numbers were 2 Sooties, 12 Manx, 1 Great Shearwaters and 41 Balearics. We also counted 63 Whimbrels, as well as a few Bar Tailed and Black Tailed Godwits, 10 Sandwich Terns, 29 Common Scoters, 676 Gannets and 2 Mediterranean Gulls.

The W wind announced a nice passage, but we didn't expect to watch as many as 7 LT Skuas, all of them adult birds. The other great count was 51 Pomarines, quite a lot for this time of the year. We counted for 8 hours, obtaining other nice numbers such as 1 Great Shearwater, 281 Cory's, 4 Arctic Skuas, 13 Great Skuas, 22 Sandwich and 6 «Commic» Terns, 27 Whimbrels, an unseasonal Kittiwake and the first Lttle Tern of the year. 

At 12:16 (local hour) a Sei Whale appeared briefly between the waves, and there was a migrant adult Cuckoo in the headland.

SW wind. 35,5 Cory’s/h was a nice passage for the 6 hours count. 10 Balearics and 9 Manx were also on the move, as well as 2 Pomarine and 3 Great Skuas, 7 Sandwich Terns, 628 Northern Gannets and 67 Common Scoters. Huge numbers of Common Dolphins (more than 500) filled the sea with their activity.

It is not a common species from the headland, so it was great to watch and photograph this flock. In 7,15 hs count we counted 16 Grreat Skuas, 4 Pomarines and 1 Arctic Skua (the first of the year), 104 Common Scoters, 9 Whimbrels and still very few Shearwaters. The wind blew from SW. Northern Gannets passage was close to 100 birds/h.

A Fea's Petrel slowly flying westwards at 16:30 (local hour) was the great news of the 6 hours count. Other nice species were 1 Great Shearwater and 12 Great Skuas, as well as 1 Pomarine, 2 «Commic» Terns and 1 Sandwich Tern. The wind blew fron SW in the morning and NW in the afternoon and evening. There were a couple of pods of Common Dolphins in the area, one of them numbering more than 75 individuals.
