From Vicky Pearson:
We were out last night (Sunday) to watch the solstice sunset from Carn Ingli. We sat for a the actual sunset on a big rock not far from the Bedd Morris car park. Out a sea, on the east side of Dinas Mountain, not far off the coast, we could see a huge raft of birds, so close together it was just a dark mass, with dots of outliers. (Between 9.15 & 9.45pm). They were moving around, with the ‘dark mass’ dispersing and reforming, flying low over the sea. It looked like a feeding frenzy on a fish ball. They didn’t ‘feel’ like gulls in behaviour and I guess they could be guillemots and razorbills from Needle Rock, but my feeling was Shearwaters. Having seen Chris Peirpoint’s post about Manxies in Fishguard Bay the same evening, I’m hopefully someone can confirm that….
