Today and after work, another sea watch at Newbiggin.
I only did five hours tonight, but my two day old Storm Petrel record count was broken. Eighteen on Sunday, twenty five today. Most of the birds were moving steadily north, a long way out, but occasionally a bird would appear closer in.
The supporting cast included; two Arctic Skua, six Bonxie, six Sooty Shearwater, seven Red-throated Diver,forty-ish Manx Shearwater, forty-ish Common Scoter and a Little Gull

I think you need some more height to look for Stormies in the troughs. Newbiggin is quite low...Hence my 32 in an hour tonight!
Someone needs to invent a portable sea watch tower thingy...
