Spoooon!

Seawatch at the Nose this PM.

2 Poms, light morph; stonking adult with exquisite spoons and a 3s - through together.

Good numbers of Manxies, and the odd heavy shower - it never quite stopped raining the whole time - gave some excellent bits and pieces, including 2 cracking Black Terns and a wader splurge starring a [very brief] Wood Sand [only my second on Patch].



EDIT:

Bit more detail;
Waders included Dunlin, Turnstone, and Whimbrel.
Swallows and a Swift in/off.
No Puffins, though, and only one Razorbill hanging around the Ore Stone [that I could see].
Moderate passage of Gannets, Kitts, and Fulmars.

There was also this character, who dropped in for a rest;

Ooh, what's that?

Gannet.

 

Adult and appeared uninjured, unfouled, and unoiled. As a lot of waders dropped in - some very quickly, some hanging around - I guess it too was just waiting while the rain did its thing.
Apparently, there's a lot of algae in the sea right now - the fish aren't biting due to it, said a couple of fishers - so maybe it didn't fancy sitting in the goo?


Be Seeing You..
