Ship passages to and from Heligoland

It was almost impossible to get some good pictures during the ship passages, even though I saw some nice birds:
To Heligoland:
6 Little Gulls
2 Mediterranean Gulls
3 Kittiwakes (NEW)
1 Sandwich Tern
1 Arctic Tern
3 Parasitic Jaegers (NEW)
1 Pomarine Jaeger (NEW)
3 Red-throated Loons (NEW)
3 Guillemots (NEW)
29 Brents (NEW)
8 Black Scoters (NEW)
1 Greater Scaup (NEW)
1 Gannet (NEW)
11 Grey Seals (NEW)

Back from Heligoland:
2 Brents
8 Black Scoters
1 Guillemot
1 Arctic Tern
1 Parasitic Jaeger
2 Pomarine Jaegers
1 Grey Seal

There were lots of new birds during those passages, that I haven't seen while being on Heligoland itself...
