Seabirds around Devon (1 Viewer)

Got a couple of days sailing from Plymouth in a few weeks (late June). Obviously the weather can lead to all sorts of variables for both how far out to sea I get and what’s around but does anyone have a general idea of what sea birds would be most likely.

The colonies should be in full swing so foraging Razorbill, Guillemot, Shag, Cormorant, Kittiwake, Fulmar and Gannet aplenty I imagine. Oh and terns (Common, Sandwich, slight chance of Arctic, Roseate or Little). Not a seabird but Peregrine is always a nice inshore waters spectacle and also quite a common one these days.

Puffin are uncommon and Black Guillemot rare around that area I believe. The peak season for Skuas and Shearwaters is later in summer (Aug-Sep) but would have thought there will be Manx Shearwater around and chance of something rarer. The worse/more inshore the weather conditions are, the better the chance of an open-ocean bird, but worse conditions for viewing. Have a good time!

thanks a lot for the info, sounds like a nice mix of stuff, nothing I haven't seen this year from dry land but it's always great to see them on the water. Got some more planned from falmouth in august which presumably would be better for petrel, shearwaters and the like.

Off Falmouth in August, all bets are off for what could turn up. Best of luck!

Storm Petrel is another possibility. But I'd say the main thing is Balearic Shearwater.

Any recommendations for seawatching on the south Devon coast, preferably east of the South Hams?
