That’s an excellent overview Craig and really does explain the science behind some of those seemingly ‘chance’ encounters. Whilst the weather systems are no guarantee of numbers, they can load the dice in your favour.
Thank you for a really interesting and informative talk. We are almost complete novices to sea watching and your explanations of the bird movements in relation to weather systems were eye opening.
Nice one Craig. My very local headland is Cullernose Point, Northumberland where we are glad of your cast-offs :). I was lucky enough to get the Soft plumaged Petrel last year only 300 mtrs from my house, so thanks to the seawatchers at Flamborough!
Been sea watching at Flambrough for over 40 years but still learned quite a lot from the presentation, excellent work, infact I was there Monday , got Pallid swift at buckton , can’t decide spurn or Flambrough tomorrow???
Thrilled to have found this channel, thanks for sharing what you do !
Brilliant presentation of why we’re so lucky to have these sites in the UK. Thank you.

Excellent overview and analysis of weather systems - thanks!

Need some help here
Never sea watched for birds before.
Got my binoculars 10x42 also got my Scope STM80 field guide & notebook 📒.
Waterproofs.
Have you been to Cape Clear in Ireland? You would love it !
I have and I did - coincided with a significant passage of Cory's and the odd Great Shearwater.
A couple of those charts would have produced some good surf on the reefs too!🌊🏄♂️
