Absolute minimum from 0700 to 0930 going West. At one stage there was a huge number of extra birds on the horizon and at least five miles out which were impossible to count, especially as we were concentrating on looking for Shearwaters closer to. Saw most of the Balearics recorded by the other lads including the 5 seen first by MB at Luccombe and then tracked right to SCP! [Ventnor].
