Actually the movement died off... end totals were:
Leachs Petrel 107, Manx Shearwater 175, Pomarine Skua 2, Arctic Skua 29, Great Skua 22, Red Throated Diver 4, Black Tern 1, Kittiwake 120, Gannet 75, Fulmar 1 and Brent Goose 3 pale bellied.
Wind is WNW 6 here... the absolute best for N.Wirral. Pity there are no tides.... well there is a pathetic one in the evening.
The winds are due to drop tonight and pick up on Monday - there appears to be a rule that there will be no gales at the weekend.
LUNDY FASTNET IRISH SEA SHANNON ROCKALL
NORTHWEST 5 TO 7 VEERING NORTH 4 OR 5, BECOMING VARIABLE 3 OR 4 IN
SHANNON AND ROCKALL. RAIN CLEARING. MODERATE OR POOR BECOMING GOOD
If as predicted the wind gets any more North in it Point Lynas will come into play.
There will be petrels off Wirral today and tomorrow - though there will be fewer in the Mersey and more out to see at New Brighton. Last night, in addition to the classic "up the beach" birds, there were little black dots all over the sea as far as I could see (ie up to 3 miles offshore)
