Sunday 27th August

Light NW winds, mostly dry, cool but with a few light showers. 

The hint of NW winds made Martin Armstrong think of a sea-watch off Frenchman's Rocks this morning. So he, myself and Bob Davison set off hoping against hope that something might come of it. Nope! Nothing doing! A few distant Manx Shearwaters and close-up Gannets were milling about and going in no particular direction and there were almost no Kittiwakes or auks and just a couple of Fulmars. The only thing to brighten the hour we spent there was a Great Skua sauntering by and a Whimbrel as we left.
