Last Saturday on a strong north westerly wind shearwaters and skuas trickled past the Bridges. Two Grey Phalaropes were the highlights along with 28 Sooty Shearwaters, two Arctic Skuas, one Bonxie, one Storm Petrel and good numbs of Manx Shearwaters.

Shearwaters are building
Monday 23rd July 2012
John N Murphy & Brian Finnegan.
A wet misty day with prolonged wet conditions all day at The Loop. A short clearance in the evening allowed one hours seawatching off the Bridges where there was one Balearic Shearwater, seven Sooty Shearwaters, 500 Manx Shearwaters per hour, one Puffin and smaller movements of auks, Fulmamrs, Kittiwakes and some gulls.
On the headland there were two Wheatears, four Raven and mixed flocks of large gulls in freshly cut fields.
