More Auks

Given Steve's post below a timely report sent in by Christine Jones yesterday: -
This week I have found the following on Freshwater East beach
Monday pm low tide - 2 dead puffins, 1 injured guillemot - appeared to have something wrong with its leg - taken to pembroke vets after phoning wildlife trust for advice.
Thursday am  incoming tide - dead razorbill
Friday am incoming tide -  dead razorbill
Christine also mentions that a few weeks before she found a Puffin which was headless in the dunes behind the beach. It looked like it had be recently dropped - all the feathers were clean and the body fresh.

Also from David Ord - Referring to Steve's post today. I saw 2 dead Razorbill on Newgale beach today.
