The wind kept blowing fron the South for the las hours, so it was quite a surprise to find groups of up to 25 Strom-Petrels feeding close to the headland. Several of them approached the coastline, gibing the chance to identify 3 Wilson's. During the afternoon, Storm-Petrels kept moving West in tiny numbers.
There was also a nice passage of Gannets all through the morning (117/h), as well as Cory's (60/h, but close to 200/h during the first hours after sun up). But not as many Balearics as yesterday. Other species watched were Great Skua (4), Arctic Skua (1 moving East and another feeding with gulls and Storm-Petrels), and Common Scoter (3 westwards and 5 eastwards).
