Took for the first time this year an attempt to see Manx Shearwater. Didn't succeed. The wind was calm and coming from the south. Next time better...
But it was nice with an Arctic Skua mobbing a Great Black-backed Gull, a flyby Puffin and three Sanderlings passing by. And about ten Gannet and a few Arctic Terns fishing. A visit at the tern colony at Davøy produced aggressive birds of both species, both Common and Arctic. Sure they're having young on the nests...
