Aug 16: the wind finally changes

NW wind and huge increase of numbers. Today’s 7,5 hs count produced 41 Poms, 16 Arctic Skua, 26 Bonxies (and also 34 moving eastwards, most of them in the very calm early morning), 65 Common Scoters, 9 Black Terns, 176 «Commic» Terns, 139 Sandwich Terns, 5 Little Terns... Although we watched 24 Great Shearwaters, other Shearwater numbers were still not high: 9 Manxies, 5 Balearics, 297 Cory’s. Other nice species to watch were 1 LT Skua and 1 Northern Fulmar. Today the Peregrine captured a Sandwich Tern.

Observers: Antonio Martínez Pernas, Antonio Sandoval, Alfonso Valderas and Oscar Llama.
