Sea watching at Climping was eventful for a couple of hours with a distant Shearwater west at 12:55, which I initially thought Manx but on reflection probably a Balearic, yet another that got away. Also 2 Artic Skua, 2 juv Little Gull a Black Tern, 31 Gannet, 25 Sandwich and 1 Commic Tern all moving west, and a Redstart in the overflow car park at Bailifscourt. 

Couple of hours watching the sea from Climping between 6&8. Lots of gulls moving W including 150+ Med Gull and 1 juv Little Gull. Also 1 Ruff. (RG)

Good numbers of gulls feeding offshore, but nothing really moving.  A little variety in the shelter spots, but hard going in a blustery westerly wind.
