Sep 6: thousands of Manxies on the move

Manx Shearwaters (Antonio Sandoval)

Manx Shearwaters have started to leave the Gulf of Biscay in huge numbers. Today the North wind forced them to pass very close to the headland, offering very nice views of their groups. We counted 6,353 in 5,30 hs. Together with them, 688 Cory´s, 720 Sooties and 26 Balearics. Regarding Skuas: 27 Arctic, 39 Poms and 43 Bonxies. We also counted 357 Sandwich but only 26 «commic» Terns.
