Manx Shearwater

Dante and I were up early for seawatching from World’s End. Although not super busy, we had a good morning with 14 Mallemuk (Fulmar) and 1 Almindelig Skråpe (Manx Shearwater) while the 2k+ Lille Kjove (Long-tailed Skua) from yesterday afternoon remained on the beach. Our guest, Anders, also managed to see the Lille Kjove this morning. Overland, the highlights were 7 Rød Glente (Red Kites) and 1 Rosefinch (Karmindompap).

Sean used his first morning to get to know Skagen a little better and had a resting Hvepsevåge (Honey Buzzard) and singing Bomlærke (Corn Bunting) in Batteriskoven before the heavy rain hit Skagen mid-afternoon.

We also said goodbye to Zach this morning who has headed back to London and, although sad to be leaving Skagen, is very excited to see his local patch again!
