I recently went on holiday to Cornwall, in St.Ives and had many early mornings going up to the 'Island'. There were many Kittiwakes, Fulmars, the odd Guillemot and Great Skua but the highlight was the sight of a few hundred Manx Shearwaters. It has been something I've read about in journals etc but did not expect to see. One day the Shearwaters were in three large groups around St.Ives bay all on the water with some flying off and alighting in one of the other groups.
The final day of the holiday was a boat trip to Seal Island, and on the outward journey the Manx Shearwaters were flying past the boat, some occasionally dropping into the water - a fantastic sight. I also had some good views of three Black-throated Divers.
