Porthcawl
6.15 - 10.00 Storm Petrel 8, Manx Shearwater 10+, Fulmar 4, Common Scoter 18, Great Nothern Diver 3 stonking summer plumaged birds all close inshore d/c & a few Gannets knocking around.
Pays your money and take's your chance! Generally speaking where ever I end up I always wish I had gone elsewhere. Can be frustrating watching bugger all when reports are coming in from elsewhere! Plenty of stuff in the channel at the mo. Seems they have had Pom Skua & Sabs Gull off the English side and plenty of Stormies in Gwent. Anyway I feel slightly more comfortable lurking around the shelter at Porthcawl than at Lavernock !!!
PS Your check bounced. I'll be sending over Seymour to extract the cash using his own tight short wearing techniques. He mentioned the words back-door and Speleology. I dread to think what he means. I'd pay up if I were you :-))
Alex, I am upset that you would prefer to 'lurk' & 'tick' down west, than 'loiter' in the east your prefered county of choice! How fickle. I put in a good loiter session at the point.. well 80mins and reaped the rewards of being loyal to your county of choice with three patch ticks!
BTW - are you year listing or something by any chance?

Stormies were about the only birds coming through after you left, Alex. 15+ till 12.30pm.
Alex, whatever are you sugesting?

living 500 metres west of the border I have to be AC/DC as far as counties are concerned.
