MANX SHEARWATER // PUFFINUS PUFFINUS (80cm)

HAVE BEEN PRIVILEGED to stay on SKOMER island off the south of Wales, for the past few years, so this is a tribute to all my feathered friends, who will not be seeing me, as all visitors have been cancelled, which is very upsetting !!! THE MANX SHEARWATER is a summer visitor to the region, May to September, spends most of its life at sea and only visits land to breed, and then only after dark. Nests in underground burrows, so to see one in broad daylight, tells you there is something wrong, looked very healthy , maybe a black-backed gull was patrolling his nest sight, hope he made it back after dark.

========================

THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND, please keep very well and safe, God bless you...........................Tomx.

"IT HAS BEEN SAID that faith may move mountains, but prayer moves God. Amazing, isn't it, that our prayers, whether grand and glorious or feeble and faint, can move the very heart of God who created the universe ? "
