short seawatch this morning before the rain, spent more time walking to and from cow gap than i did looking at the sea, but 7 balearic west. another watch after the rain produced 1 sooty, 1 manx and 5 balearic but was so boring I had to go, oddly very few gannets and no variety. checked west rise for black tern and found a juv - my first species of tern here and really close views. never seen the place so flooded hard to believe it's August
