8th May 2019 - Hove

An hour and a half’s seawatch off Hove in poor weather from 06:10 – 07:35 was quite rewarding despite the difficult conditions. Highlights were 3 pomarine skuas (2 close @ 06:17, 1 more distant @ 07:11), 2 Arctic skuas, 3 black terns in a pack of ‘comics’, 8 knot, 3 whimbrel, a grey plover and 5 common scoter plus a steady up channel movement of gannets.
