Ramsey

2 hour seawatch this morning produced some impressive seabird movement - over 4,000 guillemots (didn't pick out any obvious razorbills in that time) and over 1,500 kittiwakes (a lot of which stopped to feed in the usual tide race off carreg trai on the ebb tide) - 80 gannets (mainly adults), 9 RT divers, 1 GN diver and 2 common scoters. Also seen - 1 curlew and 2 ravens heading towards the north bishop. Not seen any shearwaters since mid December.
