The long staying drake Common Eider showed well in the harbour, close to the Scillonian . The weather was not as forecasted, being overcast and with a  cold NE wind, sea state 3-4. Between Penzance and Wolf we saw 74 Manx Shearwaters, 12 Gannets, 7 Razorbill, 5 Guillemots, 22 Auks, 2 Common Scoter, 1 Fulmar, 6 Swallows and 11 fairly distant Common Dolphins. From Wolf to St Mary's numbers dwindled with 5 Manx Shearwaters, 2 Fulmar, 3 Gannet, 1 Guillemot, 1 Razorbill and a little Egret close to the island.
The return was on calmer waters but with even less birds. Between St Mary's and Wolf only 4 Manx Shearwater, 1 Great Black-backed and 1 Lesser Black-backed Gull. After Wolf, moving west were 1 Puffin, 10 Manx Shearwaters, 11 Gannet, 22+ Herring Gulls, 9 Guillemots, 7 Razorbill and a single Fulmar.
