It was rainy in the start of the day! (David Martínez Lago)
Very good day today at Estaca, with not much passage during the morning, but instead a lot of birds during the afternoon and evening with the N wind. Most remarkable, the 4th Pterodroma Petrel (Fea’s type), found by Antonio Martínez Pernas in his Birthday, a very nice present indeed. The totals for 6 hs count were:
606 Gannets
8,119 Manxies (1,350 birds/hour, which means that all through the day close to 15.000 Manxies moved west)
1,221 Sooties
141 Cory’s
44 Balearics
1 Great Shearwater
26 Pomarine Skuas (+ 5 out of count)
61 Arctic Skuas (+ 12 out of count)
2 LT Skuas (+ 3 out of count)
40 Bonxies (+ 8 out of count)
97 Sandwich Terns
80 “comic” Terns
2 Black terns
13 Black-Tailed Godwit
8 Whimbrel
One of the local Peregrines captured a Whimbrel.
Observers: Antonio Martínez Pernas (Happy Birthday!), Ricardo Hevia, David Martínez Lago, Mike Buckland & Friends, Daniel Nañas, Miquel Casas, Ferrán Vaquero and 2 Dutch birders.
