another great ventnor seawatch - 8 scoter, 6 sandwich terns and a skua sp.

walking along the seafront at sandown a calidris shot past me straight into the driving rain, couldnt react quick enough, was prob a dunlin but you never know. a 2hr seawatch at ventnor once the rain had cleared was ok i spose for the iow, but still frustrating given what's about in the channel lately. 1 manx, 3 sooty, 3 balearic, 3 fulmar, 4 razorbill, 4 shag, 2 sandwich tern, 140 gannets, all west. freshwater bay would be a good bet.
