9/18/2013

The 4 hs count during the afternoon and evening confirmed that the passage of Sooties (1,033) and Manxies (3,420) goes on. Not many other shearwaters were seen, only a handful of Cory's and Balearics, and 1 Great. Regarding Skuas, just 34 Arctic, 11 Poms and 27 Bonxies. Tern nmbers were quite low too: 57 Sandwich, 15 "commic" and 1 Black.

Observers: Ricardo Hevia, David Martínez Lago, Antonio Martínez Pernas, Mike Buckland & Friends, Daniel Nañas, Miquel Casas and Ferrán Vaquero.

During 8.45 - 15.00u we took 2 or 3 5-minutes counts every hour. By extrapolating this results we produced the following numbers: Manx 9652 and Sooty 1044.
We spent 18 hours of seawatching at Estaca. It was a wunderfull experience.
