Comments Off on Oscar Dewhurst – Dusky Titi

Oscar Dewhurst – White Stork

Oscar Dewhurst – Manx Shearwater
Oscar writes: When I was on Skomer, off the cost of Pembrokeshire, I was very surprised to see this Manx Shearwater perched on a stone wall during the middle of the day. They are nocturnal birds that breed on the island, but I was very glad to have the opportunity to see one in…
