October 8, 2006 - just fresh in

A seawatch off Galley this am had 2 great shearwaters, 15 sooty shearwaters, 10 manx shearwaters, 2 bonxies and 1 arctic skua.  A reed warbler was at Long Strand this lunchtime.  Once the rain cleared this afternoon 6 chiffchaffs, 1 spotted flycatcher, 2 whinchats, 1 redstart and 2 black redstarts were knocking about on Galley, with the latter new for the year (130).
