Barred Warbler
Some good fleeting views of a Barred Warbler at Flamborough yesterday. The sea watch was good too with 2 Cory's Shearwater plus several Great Skua, Arctic Skua, Whimbrel and Manx Shearwater

Stunning Cornwall
What a weekend! Perfect weather and westerly winds meant it was third time very lucky for out seabird trip. On route to Cornwall we bagged Dartford Warbler at Woodbury Common Devon and Cirl Bunting at Prawle Point.
However the 8 hour pelagic on Saturday was the highlight. Epic views of Great Shearwater, Cory's Shearwater and Storm Petrel were enjoyed. We also had a Black Tern and a single Balearic Shearwater on way back to Penzance. We also had a couple of Sunfish off the boat.Thanks to Paul Semmens for organising such a brilliant trip.
On the Sunday we did a short seawatch from Pendeen and had 3 further Cory's Shearwater, 2 Great Shearwater and 2 Balearic Shearwater
