Default Long distance trevellers.

I've been reading up about Manx Shearwaters of late since seeing a large number of them passing the north coast of Anglesey while we were in Wales a few weeks ago.......the birds fascinated me as they disapeared out of site between the troughs of waves as they flew wings almost touching the surface of the sea.....a great sight!
I hadn't realised just how far they do travel.
An interesting article below.
