Thursday 6th June E1-2, cloud cover, flat calm sea with moderate swell
Wonderful sunrise and perfect sea for sea watching what more could a man want
the first 90 minutes was manic with birds passing at all different distances making recording difficult and the birds hard to keep up with, great fun but what do you miss?, by 6am it had settled down to a trickle
