Strumble Head, Leach's, Long-tails, Sootys and Sabs

With favourable NW winds about a dozen assembled in the lookout. My totals were: 6 Arctic skua, 4 Long-tailed skua, 2 Bonxie. 4 Sooty shearwater with one really close for a Sooty, also excellent views of an adult Sabines gull and 3 Little gulls. 2 Leach's petrel, one pausing to feed as it passed through so giving good views. Otherwise c100 Scoter, 5 Gadwall, 3 RT diver and a Black-throated diver. Kittiwakes and auks passing continuously.
