Went on a quick evening trip to galley with H.Hussey in the hopes there would be some birds passing.
Arrived at the tip at about 5.45pm and instantly saw that there were a good few Cory's shearwaters floating about albeit distant. Harry picked up a nice balearic shearwater towards the end of the seawatch and we left at about 7.30 with few other birds of note. Westerly winds and odd patches of cloud cover just werent condusive to a good passage. Worth a try though.
We stopped at the red benches in clonakilty were i found a second summer Yellowlegged gull. And the glaucous gull was still present at ring.
Not a bad evening birding!
