Seaton Sluice Watchtower – 13th October 2013

Today was somewhat different to the previous days, must birds having now worked their way north, heading back to the Atlantic after being displaced by the strong Northerlies last Thursday, however there were a few stragglers.   Highlights were a leach’s petrel at 9.38 and a storm petrel at 9.52 – both woring north and seen well just outside the breakers. Single manx and sooty shearwater, together with two arctic skua and eight bonxies made it a really good seawatch. Petrels are still being seen to the south in Yorkshire, so worth a look if you get the chance.   Nick
