Just completed a 22.5 hour day trip. Up at 5am and off for the Long billed dowitcher at Boulmer. Got caught in some hiddeous weather and dipped Roseate tern. Had a second weekend of not seeing the Honey buzzards which are "showing well" at Wykeham then things picked up for the evening at Flamborough with all the regular breeding seabirds, a couple of Manxies and a nice close in Great Skua for the year.
Storm petrel was trapped and ringed about 1am.
