The brandon bonanza
Went to Brandon yesterday with P. Davis, D.o'Sullivan, H.Hussey and P. Moore.
An absolutely fantastic seawatch.
The species tallies were as follows.
2 Long Tailed skuas.
3 pomarine skuas
30 bonxies
30 arctic skuas
16 balearic Shearwaters.
over 2000 Sooty shearwaters.
1 Cory's Shearwater
5 great shearwaters
2 wilsons petrels
11 leaches petrels
11 sabines gulls including one gorgeous juvenile
8 grey phalaropes
and 1
yes 1 fea's petrel.That makes five.
There was a supposedly possible little shearwater...but i tried not to let not seeing it get me down.
Great day

Hi Owen et al,
For the benefit of anyone who may browse your weblog, not everyone got on to the Fea's...still waiting to see my first one!
Good day up to then , though.
sounds like a pretty amayzing day all right! only 1 fea's though, bit poor really non?
Yeah poor numbers of fea's alright.Must have been a poor breeding season.
