Sep. 20:The fifth Pterodroma of the season

9/21/2013

0 Comentarios

 
A good day at Estaca. Although the number of shearwaters has fallen so much, especially in the afternoon, the passage of skuas and terns has been very entertaining. The best, without a doubt, was the 5th Pterodroma Petrel of the season that make us spent about ten minutes staring at it, even we could see how it was harassed by an Arctic Skua. It was a special pterodroma to Ricardo Hevia, as the thirty he see from Estaca (congratulations!!!).

Also this afternoon the local hawk has tried to catch a tern but failed in his attempt and, unfortunately for him, he has been chased by an Arctic Skua almost until the shore too... a bad day for him...

Manxies: 950 ( 5,15 hs count)
Sootie: 339 ( 5,15 hs count)
