Observers: Antonio Sandoval (24th and 25th), Ricardo Hevia (24th) and Alfonso Valderas (24th)

Wind: NE both days

Not much to count in these two days. The evening of 24th there was a passage of 130 Cory's Shearwaters / hour and 12 Great Shearwaters / hour. The following day 5 Great Skuas were watched, one of them chasing Cory's Shearwaters over a pod of dozens of Common Dolphins. Cory's numbers were similar to those of the previous day, but only 2 Great  Shearwaters were watched.

Instead, there was a nice passage of sailing vessels, including this one from Australia, the Katherine:

​We don't watch many australian vessels in Galicia...

​

The evening of 21th (NW Wind) Cory's passage was close to 160-h, and 1 Pomarine, 1 Arctic and 2 Great Skuas were counted in 2 hours. Also a few Whimbrels, as well as 5 Balearic Shearwaters, and a few Northern Gannets.

22th (WN wind) was nice for Common Scoters in the morning: 151 in several groups in 3 hours. The afternoon and evening were nice instead for Great Shearwaters (18), and for the first groups of commic Tern (24) and Bar-tailed Godwit (40) of the season. A Scopoli's Shearwater was also watched, as well as 5 Pomarine, 3 Arctic and 3 Great Skuas, 1 Mediterranean Gull, Dunlins, Manx and Balearic Shearwaters, etc.

23th (NNE wind) started with a Fulmar during the sun-up, and the first Long-tailed Skua of the year one hour later. It was a nice day for Cory's (1,416 in 7 hours) and Great Shearwaters (34). The evening produced 4 Great Skuas, 1 Pomarine and 1 Arctic. Only 1 Sooty and 6 Manx Shearwaters were watched. 
​
During the three days Common Dolphins were abundant in the area, several times feeding in company of Cory's and Gannets.

Observer: Antonio Sandoval Rey

Truly boring days, with strong E winds keeping seabirds far from the headland.

Only several gropus of Common Scoter in the mornings and a movement of 50 Balearic Shearwaters / hour eastwards in the morning of 17th before the fog appeared for the rest of the day. 

Observers: Antonio Martínez Pernas and Ricardo Hevia Barcón

Very nice seabird passage this afternoon and evening in 4 h: 2,300 Cory's, 55 Great Shearwaters, 11 Manx Shearwaters, 11 Pomarines and the first Little Tern of the season on the move. 

Observers: Antonio Sandoval, Daniel Fernández, Pablo Pita

Red-billed Chough visits to the Observatory were welcome all through these days, as the seabird passage was a bit poor, due to the NE winds.

Anyway, on 8th a few Mediterranean Gulls were on the move:

The first two juveniles of the season of this beautiful gull was seen the following day. Also the first juvenile Balearic Shearwater and a Common Minke Whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata). The usual pods of Common Dolphins and Harbour Porpoise also visited the area. Cory's Shearwater and Northern Gannet's passage was below 100 birds/hour.

The soundtrack of the dawn of 10th were the songs of Melodious Warblers:

Dartford Warblers, instead, were mostly silent, hiding in the Common Gorse:

During the night only one British Storm Petrel had been caught in the ringing net by Pablo Pita.

​At sea the seabird movement kept poor, even when the wind changed to NW. At least one Pomarine Skua was a nice sighting, as these birds always are!

Observer: Antonio Sandoval Rey

The seawatching season started this year with an evening 2-hs count with WNW wind:

2 Pomarine Skuas - S. pomarinus
2 Great Skuas - S. skua
102 Cory's Shearwaters - C. diomedea
3 Balearic Shearwaters - P. mauretanicus
1 Manx Shearwater - P. puffinus
91 Northern Gannets - M. bassanus

The weather was autumn-like. Here they say it's "julyember":

The following day, July 2, the weather improved (still NW)...
