Tides are good this week and Barry McCarthy was at Formby Point today - he reports a steady passage of terns, inc 215 Sandwich, 2 juv Arctic Skuas and 22 Manx Shearwaters. Worth a look all week really.

Now that's what I call a raging hooley!
Managed to get down to check the stormy sea off Ainsdale for an hour or so between 4pm and 5.10pm.
