Very strong gannet flight this morning with upwards of 1000 birds observed. There are currently huge feeding flocks to the west, most likely spectacularly visible from the Long Beach area. A Parasitic Jaeger flew west past the jetty at around 7:35. Sea duck numbers were low, with small flocks of all 3 scooters and singles of Common Eider and Long-tailed Duck.
