Info Post
I was a bit distressed to read Bob & Annie's report of several oil-stained Kittiwakes up at Ramsey Sound. We found a relatively lightly oiled juvenile Guillemot on Martin's Haven beach on Sunday afternoon. It was energetic enough then to evade me and a bucket, and swam off strongly, but we saw it again, much less healthy, yesterday evening. No sign today. The oil was a mid-brown in colour; we talked to Phil, Mark and Kate at the Skomer MNR, and they are keeping a watch for any other signs of an oil spill; there was no oil that we could see on Martin's Haven beach, or round to Marloes.
