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.
