WEDNESDAY 18th AUGUST . 2004

A few hours spent down at Berry Head Devon , doing a sea watch turned out not bad at all
On the walk down to the point there were 4 WHEATEAR a COMMON BUZZARD & Half a Dozen PAINTED LADY butterflies
Once down at the point & settled down for the sea watching session , the first thing picked up were numerous GANNET & KITTIWAKE streaming through & quite a few FULMAR , we then had a total off 9 GREAT SKUA , 2 Light phase & 1 Dark phase ARCTIC SKUA , 15 MANX SHEARWATER , 2 BALEARIC SHEARWATER & 1 very pleasing SOOTY SHEARWATER & about 25 GREAT BLACK BACKED GULL in the area .
