Between Old Quarry Ocean Adventures and Seal Isand was pretty dead. We saw the usual coastal species but the only seabirds we saw were a single puffin and a single Northern Gannet. At the island there were still about 60 or more puffins in the water but few loafing on shore. A single Razorbill on the water. Cormorants and grey seals still hanging around the southern cliffs. The red-billed tropicbird came out early and preened and bathed off the side of the boat at about 20 yards for a couple of minutes before flying further out. We dont tend to chase after initial encounter as not to harass the bird, so we headed back.
