Early in the morning there was a nice westwards passage of Gannets (170 birds/hour) under a very cloudy sky and against a W wind. Some of them stopped for a while to fish. Their calls could be heard from the Observatory. Two Sandwich Terns and 4 Common Scoters moved east. The Shearwater numbers were very low. A few Cory’s also fed close to the Observatory. Somewhere behind me, .....deers were barking for a while. The House Martin was still here.
At lunch time it started to rain. A flock of 18 Common Swifts flew southwards over the village of Vila de Bares. The evening was quite boring at the cape: too much rain and only a few birds. A Great Skua attacking Cory’s and a westwards Whimbrel were the only (and tiny) news worth writing here.
