Back in La Palma 🌿🐧
Fieldwork for #MACPuffinus #LIFE2030 is underway again, focusing on the ⚠️ #criticallyendangered 🔴 #ManxShearwater subspecies of Macaronesia.
A very useful if sobering report. #Biosecurity is mentioned as a vital conservation measure for #AtlanticPuffin, #ManxShearwater, #EuropeanStormPetrel, #Leach'sStormPetrel, #RoseateTern, #CommonTern & #ArcticSkua breeding sites, helping to prevent colonisation or reinvasion by invasive predators
✨ Door 20 — Manx Shearwater
These incredible seabirds migrate from the UK all the way to South America — a journey of more than 10,000km. They’re masters of gliding flight and spend most of their lives at sea.

Flabbergasted to discover #ManxShearwater can live to 50 years old. Hung out with some Manxies this summer, and their landing/walking skills did not suggest longevity (indeed there was always a fresh crop of corpses in the morning…)
This Manx Shearwater 🐦⬛ was recently blown inshore by strong winds, and was safely released by our #MarineConservation team! 🤩
If you find a grounded Manx Shearwater, there is some useful information 🗒️ on the poster above about who you can contact. ☎️

Came across a manx shearwater stranded in a field this evening whilst I walked Lily & Tucker.@berniebeck.bsky.social was nearby with a box that he used to rescue it. Hopefully it will released soon & be able to head home to South America

Manx shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) One of my better shots #birding #birds #birdwatching #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #manxshearwater
Better views of Manx Shearwater from a boat! About the only decent pic out of all the rubbish I took though. Quite the spectacle to see the volume of these birds, along with the Puffins. Highly recommend a Skomer boat trip. #birds #pembrokeshire #manxshearwater
Manx Shearwaters digiscoped at distance this morning. Thanks @andysims49.bsky.social for confirming my suspected ID. #birds #manxshearwater #pembrokeshire
