It was rainy in the start of the day! (David Martínez Lago)
Very good day today at Estaca, with not much passage during the morning, but instead a lot of birds during the afternoon and evening with the N wind. Most remarkable, the 4th Pterodroma Petrel (Fea’s type), found by Antonio Martínez Pernas in his Birthday, a very nice present indeed. The totals for 6 hs count were:

606 Gannets
8,119 Manxies (1,350 birds/hour, which means that all through the day close to 15.000 Manxies moved west)
1,221 Sooties
141 Cory’s
44 Balearics
1 Great Shearwater
26 Pomarine Skuas (+ 5 out of count)
61 Arctic Skuas (+ 12 out of count)
2 LT Skuas (+ 3 out of count)
40 Bonxies (+ 8 out of count)
97 Sandwich Terns
80 “comic” Terns
2 Black terns
13 Black-Tailed Godwit
8 Whimbrel

One of the local Peregrines captured a Whimbrel.

Observers: Antonio Martínez Pernas (Happy Birthday!), Ricardo Hevia, David Martínez Lago, Mike Buckland & Friends, Daniel Nañas, Miquel Casas, Ferrán Vaquero and 2 Dutch birders.

We arrived on the good day at Estaca during our trip along the seawatching sites of the northern Spanish coast (Cabo Higuer, Cabo Ajo, Punta de Vaca, Cabo Prior). During 13.30-17.00u we tried to find some shelter at the west side of the station (see photograph).! It was an unforgettable event!
