Berry Head
Gale force SSW winds, with few birds on the move, the highlights being single Manx Shearwater, Balearic Shearwater,  Little Gull and 2 Great Skuas and 6 Common Scoter.  BUT - the cetaceans where brilliant! At least 6 Harbour Porpoise often surfing the waves and some leaping clear of the water, then a pod of 8 Bottlenose Dolphins with a medium sized calf moved south and better still two White-beaked Dolphins feeding off the end of the headland about 600m offshore initially, although they were underwater much of the time they stayed in the area for 20+minutes from 0950hrs before moving off south.
