Ferry odd!

A last minute decision to do a ferry survey due to the arrival of a work experience placement, Jessica Cross produced a mixed bag and some near misses Cetaceanwise (see Whales in Wales blog) but also a couple of really surprising birds. First as we left Rosslare Harbour yesterday evening a superb summer plumaged Black Throated Diver which flew across our bows heading North. The second was what we first mistook for a dead Gannet but then realised it was a dead Little Egbert, (GHR will confirm correct spelling!) about five miles off Strumble this morning.
