July 22, 2006 - satday seawatch

Struggled out of bed this morning for a good session off Galley with 2 great shearwaters, 2 cory's shearwaters, and a balearic shearwater, all new for the patch year list (112).  Also saw 3 arctic skuas, 2 bonxies, 4 sooty shearwaters and a few puffins and storm petrels. Other more dedicated observers saw an additional 2 greats and cory's, 11 balearics, 1 wilson's petrel, 1 arctic skua and 12 sooties
