| Post subject: | Balearics at Chapel Point |
Tried my luck again this morning but the wind was already too far round to the West - however there were a few birds about and 3 species of Shearwater in Lincs is always noteworthy. Two distant Balearic Shearwaters were undoubtedly the highlight and a new Green tick to boot: Red T Diver - 11 S with 3 on sea Gannet - good numbers passing some very close. Mostly Juvs Manx Shearwater - 1N Sooty Shearwater - 1N Balearic Shearwater -2N - these birds were a most welcome birthday present for Collin Jennings as they were a new British tick for him - happy birthday Collin!! Arctic Skua - 7 Shag - 1 Roseate Tern - 1 Juv Various other Terns - bad light Graet C Grebe - 1 Guillemot -1 Pink feet - several hundred Brent Goose - 9 Redwing - 1 Snow Bunting - 1 - reported to me by 2 forum readers in company with Collin&Shiela Jennings and Edward Hawk |

Thanks for your good wishes Edmund. I checked my records of Balearic Shearwater after the events of Tuesday and found a 'record' of a distant probable at Gwennap Head, Porthgwarra, Cornwall on 8th September 2003. This means that I have now definitely added this species to my British and Lincolnshire lists! Don't ask me how many are on those lists because I stopped counting some years ago! See you at Chapel Point again soon. Colin and Sheila |
