Balearic record counts

Congratulations to the Berry Head boys for sticking it out and smashing (more than doubling) the previous Devon Balearic passage record, which was 145 on 2 Sept 2009. Your 304 is the highest Devon count to date followed by those made at Start Pt (238)and Prawle Pt (160) all today. Interesting how the counts decrease away from core Lyme Bay. However, the highest in the UK was from Portland Bill with 450 on 05/08/1978 and 618 on 09/08/1978. Some way to go then chaps!!
