The bonaparte's gull showed well off the point around 0550 before moving towards Dawlish Warren and the pom (fully spooned) went east at 0655. A bare minimum of 5 balearic shearwaters, including a couple showing really well close off the point, was nice as was the sight of swifts coming in-off. 4+ diver sp were probably gnds and a poss black-throat.
Yesterday 7+ wheatear appeared all to be large 'greenland' types. Also 1 swift and 1 singing male garden warbler.
