Ness Point

Spent from 16:30 hrs till 17:30 hrs looking out at the horizon.  Several GANNETS offshore on the extent of viewing. With CORMORANTS moving about from one feeding place to another. The movement of COMMON TERNS is still evident with about 40 birds flying south with the occasional one back tracking. TURNSTONE having difficulties in feeding due to the really high tides at the moment. There was also a resting OYSTERCATCHER who was lame. The best was a good view of a MANX SHEARWATER who in partnership with an immature GANNET was flying with the south wind. The view was good and all features identified it well. On return home at last light a SPARROW HAWK flew through on his last hunt of the day.
