We started the day with a horse ride from Pelistry through to Porth Hellick and back again. Off the horse at Porth Hellick, I noted a Green Sandpiper on the pool as well as a Grey Heron. On our way back to Hugh Town, a female Blackcap was in Holy Vale and 30 House Martins were over Lower Moors.
That evening I was booked onto another pelagic however the winds had swung to the North so we headed out c5km off St Martin's. The evening didn't live up to the same standards as Thursday night although a Great Skua came very close to the boat and around 20 European Storm Petrels were seen. Also noted was a steady procession of Fulmar and Manx Shearwater which were almost always on view.
