Stranded Manx Shearwaters

We are now in to Manx Shearwater fledging season, when some of the 360,000 or so juveniles that will fledge from Skomer Island, Skokholm Island, Ramsey Island and Midland, get confused and head to the mainland rather than out to sea.

If you find one, and need help rescuing or releasing it, please refer to the poster below.

One was found near Marloes late evening on Friday, and successfully released at St Ann's Head on Saturday.
