June 9: a Sooty eastwards

You don’t often watch a Sooty flying east from Estaca. This seemed to be in a hurry, as the wind blew from the west during the early morning count. There were also a few Balearics and Cory’s. And a westwards passage of 210 Gannets / hour, 21% of them second calendar year birds, and only 2% adults. A pod of Common Dolphins was followed by some Yellow-legged Gulls.
