It was great in the evening to watch a close Great Shearwater, the first of the year. The wind was almost calm after a soft W all trough the day. The 5h15’ count produced a westwards passage of 441 Gannets, 5 Manx Shearwaters, 24 Balearics, 90 Cory’s, and 6 Sooty. Other birds seen were 5 Great Skuas (4 of them early in the morning), 7 Med Gull, 1 Sandwich Tern and 3 Oystercatchers. For part of the afternoon there was a feeding raft of 30 Balearics close to the headland.

After dinner we installed a couple of mistnets over the cliff and played British Storm-Petrel calls. Only two birds paid us a visit until at 04:00 we decided it was time to go to bed.

Observers: Pablo Gutiérrez, David Martínez Lago, Antonio Martínez Pernas, Pablo Pita, Manuel Pose, Antonio Sandoval
