A bit of Manx Shearwater action off the Bill this evening © Martin Cade:
11th April
A brisk westerly that freshened through the day and was touching gale force by the evening made for testing conditions for the migrant seekers and a lot of what was uncovered came by virtue of the Obs garden mist-nets that revealed a steady trickle of passing Blackcaps, Chiffchaffs and Willow Warblers through the morning. The only other reports came from the sea, with totals of 300 Manx Shearwaters and 70 Sandwich Terns logged through the day at the Bill.
