| 14/10/23 | Balearic Shearwater | Hill Head | 1 | M Francis |
| 09:52 | Shearwater Species presumably flushed off the sea by the many Sail Boats it was passing as it went off east. All of the Large Shears were 100%ruled out but unfortunately in the light conditions mainly looking into the sunshine across the water I couldn't get a positive Id either way to separate Manx from Balearic! Or enough time to observe it before I lost it across the Solent looking east into the sunrise and if I'm honest my concentration levels weren't great originally ! or even expecting to even see a Shearwater after yesterday's Disastrous Shearwater Seawatch. Ironically it was probably the closest Shearwater I have seen off Hill Head! But sometimes you just have admit you were beaten by the bird! | |||
