It was a windy morning providing an opportunity for seawatching at the north end of the island. A few Gannet were passing during the morning but there were also singles of Great Skua, Arctic Skua and Puffin. A total of 17 Manx Shearwater were flying west on the strong wind, then a pod of 25+ Bottlenose Dolphins were feeding quite close in.
