The change of the wind from N to NE brought a huge passage of terns all through the day: 728 Sandwich, 1,531 «commic», 230 Black and 84 Little Terns were very nice numbers for the 8,5 hs count. Some other good numbers were 135 Arctic Skuas (51 of them in the first 2 hours of the morning), 34 Bonxies, 2 LT Skuas, 1,138 Cory’s, 406 Sooties and 5 Sabine´s Gulls. The NE wind will keep on blowing for the next week, so daily numbers will decrease for a while.
On the top of the hill of Cañoles, 2 km from the headland, there was an Ortolan Bunting (a very scarce migrant here), as well as several Pied Flycatchers, Whinchats, a Weateater, a Hobby, 6 Common Buzzards and the local Ravens.
