Didn't do all that much birding and the heavy rain soon drove Dan and I back home but whilst we staked it out at the point for a while for the seawatch I did manage to pick out 2 possible Storm Petrels briefly along with a flyby diver sp. (probably a Great Northern). Manx Sheawaters were also flowing through in decent numbers. I was very surprised not to see the Whooper Swan at Helston boating lake on a brief walk around the site as it has been present for over a year or so! Mounts bay was a little more active with 5 Great Northern Divers including 2 summer plumaged birds showing at close range, 4 Sanderling on the beach and 5 Sandwich Terns hawking around in the bay.

I did a brief seawatch from Pendennis Point when I got back which produced 3 Great Northern Diver (1 sum plum heading west and 2 more on the sea). A trickle of Manx Shearwaters and Kittiwakes were also moving through the bay.
