Shear Madness

There are staggering numbers of Manx Shearwaters being seen daily off the coast of mid-Wales, a true wildlife spectacle! Very difficult to estimate the numbers, they are over whelming, but a good guess would be at least 30,000 Manx Shearwaters! It is well worth seeing and surely there are rare Shearwaters amongst this mass feeding frenzy? Already one Balearic Shearwater has been picked out and more will follow for sure. Check out http://www.thebiggesttwitch.com/diary/manx-shear-madness For Janet Baxters amazing pics which give an idea of what a stunning sight this is! We are running a trip to see the Shear Madness this Saturday, 4th August, come and join us! Email info@thebiggesttwitch.com or call Alan on 07778 677141 Closer to home today 44 Black tailed Godwits, a Whimbrel and 3 Common Sandpiper at RSPB Conwy.
