Today’s 4,45 hs count was better than expected. With the NE wind bringing clouds to the coastline, we still managed to obtain some nice numbers for some species. For example, 82 Little Terns, 324 «commic» Terns, 40 Black Terns and 124 Sandwich Terns. Almost all of them during the evening count. Also 4 Sabine’s Gulls and the first Little Gull of the season, a juvenile. Skua numbers were low (1 Pom, 20 Arctic, 15 Bonxies, 2 Long-Tailed), and Shearwater numbers very poor (56 Manx, 82 Cory’s, 58 Sooty, 1 Great, 1 Balearic). A group of 4 Grey Phalaropes passed close to the observatory flying East early in the morning.
