A Sea watch at Dawlish Warren

This morning I went down to Dawlish Warren to do a sea watch & made the hazardous climb to the top of Langstone Cliff , once I had settled in I started to pick up some STORM PETREL & in the end I must have seen 20+ , there were also quite a few KITTIWAKE & GANNET passing through as well .
Also seen were 2 Dark Phase ARCTIC SKUA & a single GREAT SKUA ( my 1st for the year ) , & a ROSEATE TERN was picked out in with a few SANDWICH TERN .
And just off of the breakwater there were 2 Male & 15 Female COMMON SCOTER & 7 COMMON EIDER .
