So please do consider uploading video of ‘common’ species seen during seawatches- I’d recommend #eBird as all users can now upload video with their checklists and they can be viewed via the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology

It was remarkably difficult to find any, let alone relevant to seawatching, flight footage of quite a few commoner NE Atlantic species e.g. Black-throated & Great Northern Divers, Black Guillemot (actually, all of the auk species), Manx Shearwater, European Storm-Petrel, etc.
