An easy month for a highlight. 9th June, Another guilty secret of my list put to bed. A Sooty Shearwater had been at Portland Bill for a few days and fortunately was still there. My previous sighting was last century, with optical equipment that was poor even by the standards of the time, and a general agreement that those birds arcing away off Spurn Head were probably Sooties. Definitely some of them anyway. So a relief to get cracking views as it worked its way back and forth. And Balearic and Manx Shearwaters in attendance, so just an outstanding trip.
How good were the views? Well you can see for yourself below. The video is spoilt by some idiot blathering on whilst an ever-polite Martin Cade stands by. I wonder who that idiot could be?
