Monday 3rd August

Alistair Hart had done a spot of sea watching this morning down at Frenchman's Rocks between 07.15 and 08.30.

Not too cold and windy.

Little bit over fazed with the cornucopia of bird life present, my counting skills largely deserted me.
Gannets lots, Manx Shearwaters around 60 passing per minute. Fulmars and Kittiwakes. 4 Great Skuas.

Skylark with young on way back to car. My first Wheatear of the year also on way back to car. 

Final highlight was close views of a raven on a gatepost on drive back to Portnahaven.
