A Ramsey Sound black guillemot

Doing a timed count of birds using Ramsey Sound (from mainland) noted a summer plumage black guillemot feeding in mid sound, St Justinian end this afternoon. It drifted north with the tide race but was lost from view when one of the local round the island fast ribs ploughed straight through its location (crew seemingly oblivious?)

About 40 whimbrel also noted going north in small flocks varying from 3 to 13 in size.
