Hi all, yesterday there were some 1,800 shearwaters off the south side of Great Gull Island. The bulk of the concentration was 1.3 miles southeast of the island. Great, Cory's, Sooty and Manx in descending abundance. Also a few Parasitic Jaegers working the tern flocks. Surprisingly, no Wilson's Storm-Petrels.
