Aug 2nd: FIRST POMARINE SKUA

Poms have arrived quite late this year to Estaca de Bares. The first one, an adult, was watched today at 19:00. Four more were counted before the rain decided it was time to stop counting. Some other birds in 6,30 hs were 33 Balearics, 1 Sootie (only the second in two months), 6 Arctic Skua, 13 Bonxies, as well as Dunlins, Oystercatchers, Whimbrels, Curlews, Medgulls, Sandwhich and "Commics" Terns, Common Scoters, Manxies and of course Gannets. The Harboir Porpoises were where usual, and a group of C. Dolphins were close to land in the early morning.

Observers: David Martínez Lago, Antonio Martínez Pernas, Antonio Gutiérrez, Antonio Sandoval Rey, Alfonso Valderas, Ricardo Hevia, Pablo Gutiérrez, Joan Balfagon.
