Wind: NW. The wind was fine, but there were no birds on the move. A Scopoli's Shearwater flying close to the headland in the afternoon was the most interesting sight. During the 3 hours count during the morning and afternoon 6 Bonxies were seen, all of them harasing the huge groups of Yellow-Legged Gulls feeding at sea.
