Burrow check were done for a sample of Manx Shearwater burrows, the first eggs this year were earlier than last year and so unsurprisingly the chicks appeared to have hatched earlier too. Today three chick were found out of 19 burrows that were checked, along with two eggs that were in the process of hatching!
Just about as vulnerable and fluffy as you can get, all going well this little chick will grow into a bird that will fly hundreds of thousands of miles in its long life. |
Other Birds around include: two Redshanks, one Curlew, one Common Sandpiper, one Little Owl, 16 Stonechats and 12 Wheatears.
