Another bit of news. Nick Hayward called me the other day to say he’d seen lots of GSs from a tall ship. His and further comments from Neil Cheshire are with the article on Bird-O http://bird-o.com/2011/04/03/the-great-shearwater-invasion/.
Let’s keep fingers crossed the weather is good for other trips planned for next week.
Regards,
Simon.
