A nice calm crossing of the Bay of Biscay.

| Phare de Kéréon off the French Coast near Breast. |
After a fairly decent nights sleep I was up early and spent a while on the Laptop before venturing out on to the deck with the Bin's to see what was around, by far the commonest species seen was Kittiwake (Gaviota Tridáctila / Rissa tridactyla) with around 100 birds passing.

Other species were Northern Gannet (Alcatraz Atlántico / Morus bassanus), Razorbill (Alca Común / Alca torda) and as we came between the Island of Ushant and the French mainland near Breast I added Lesser Black-backed (Gaviota Sombria / Larus fuscus) and Great Black-backed Gull (Gavión Atlántico / Larus marinus), Great Cormorant (Cormorán Grande / Phalacrocroax carbo) and out in the Bay there were also several Pod's of Common Dolphin's (Delphinus delphis).
