Celtic Deep Pelagic - 3rd September

Apologies for the late post, but the final West Coast Pelagic out into the Celtic Deep took place on 3rd September.  Another good one, with highlights including singles of Cory's Shearwater, Great Shearwater, Great SkuaArctic Skua, and several Arctic Terns.  When you throw in 2+ Minke Whale, a Blue Shark, and lots of Common Dolphin, a very memorable day was had by all.  We also had a green colour-ringed juvenile large gull, that looks to be a Yellow-legged Gull from southern France (awaiting confirmation).
