Bob kindly sent this image of a Short eared Owl which he had taken earlier this week. Today Bob had seen 2 Swifts down at Frenchman's Rocks. Bob estimated that there were over 1,000 Gannets there too, a similar number of Herring Gulls, as well as a good number of Manx Shearwaters and Guillemots flying past.
