User's notes

Apologies for the bird being so small, it was out at sea. About 9:30AM I saw a single gannet out to sea. It dived into the water but I couldn't see if it caught anything. It circled around and flew off to the north. About 10:50AM I saw another gannet flying out to see coming from the north, heading south. I can't be certain if this was the same bird, so I feel that there was at least one gannet.
