As soon as the wind changed seabirds started to move close to the headland some of them in amazing numbers. Gannets, for instance, kept a passage of more than 3,000/h all during all the day on nov 9th, meaning that that day close to 30.000 of them flew by.
The following two days were also very good, with c. 2,000/h and 1,200/h.
Other nice numbers were:
- Over 500/h Sooty Shearwaters on nov 10th.
- 138 Pomarine Skuas, 13 Arctic Skuas, 2 Long-tailed Skuas and 103 Bonxies during the three days (in 7,30 hs of census).
- 423 Kittiwakes on nov 11th. The best pasage up to now this year.
