Once the NE winds were left behind (only a few birds of the most common species were counted during Aug 16-20th) things started to change on 21th with an increasing passage, including 10 Long Tailed Skuas, 37 Pomarines and 35 Arctic Skuas. The first juv. Long Tailed Skua of the year was watched on 22th, together with 74 more birds of this species, 80 Poms and 44 Arctics. The following day, 23th, «Commic» Tern numbers started to rise up to 1,703, and 4 Sabine’s Gulls were counted, as well as 4 Great Shearwaters. The SW winds were quite strong that evening, over 100 km/h. On 24th we counted 2.107 «Commic» Terns, 8 Sabine’s Gulls, 43 Long Tailed Skuas, 55 Pomarines, 55 Bonxies and 68 Arctic Skuas, as well as 803 Manx Shearwaters, 1,078 Cory’s, 49 Great Shearwaters, 42 Sooty Shearwaters, 25 Grey Phalaropes, 120 Sandwhich Terns, 64 Black Terns, 3 Little Terns... As well as many other species, including  several waders.
