Flaming June...

It all looked so promising.

The wind, the big boss squally showers...

Well, one out of two, eh?

Blazing sunshine today at Berry Head, though the wind was fierce and swung around between SSE and SSW. Being a stubborn idiot patient and persistent I gave it 'til mid afternoon. A Puffin, a Balearic, 88 Manxies, 121 Gannets, 33 Kittiwakes, 9 Sarnies and a few Swifts. So still better than 4 Gannets and  a Fulmar. There were Fulmars and Guilles too.

I was not alone in my delusions of trust in the forecasts and that eventually a shower would bring something epic. Four others, who shall remain nameless, had also tried their luck. We were also rewarded with the odd Harbour Porpoise - the one I was able to get on managed to clear the surface as it porpoised. I've never actually seen a Porpoise porpoise before, so definitely worth a day sweltering in the sun. Yes, dressed for a day in driving wind and rain...

That's seawatching, sometimes you watch the sea.
