An impromptu- let’s do Stormies evening, as there was supposed to be cloud and calm weather, had the group down on the shoreline at 2320. Within 1/2 hr we were watching a Storm Petrel circling the nets under a quite bright full moon.
Over the next 2 hours we trapped three Stormies and a Manxy.

Next morning was a mix of ringing - not much unfortunately, sea watching and wader roost. Sea watching produced a juvenile Sabine’s Gull and 30 Common Dolphins.
The afternoon was free time for the students, then the evening saw the whole team out after dark.
