One of the best birding weekends I've had to date with some top birds on show. Unfortunately the large Shears were a bit thin on the ground this year and there still hasn't been a Wilson's Petrel in British waters this year. We did have 4 Great Shears which showed brilliantly from the back of the boat. Storm Petrels in their hundreds literally inches from us at times. All 4 species of Skua, Manx, Balearic and Sooty Shears. Lots of Common Dolphins and a close pod of Bottlenose gave good views. No less than 5 Blue Sharks were caught by Peter Ducket and Joe Pender, one measuring 8ft 3in and weighing over 150lbs. In the tour leader Bob Flood, not only is he a top bloke but he's also probably the most experienced sea bird expert there is. Will definitely be heading back in the near future.
