Shearwaters in colour on Springwatch

At last they made it tonight when the cameras recorded Shearwaters flying, landing and entering their burrows - looking very unlike a Manxie as they were photographed using heat imaging which showed reds and yellows rather than black and white. The Bardsey Island Trust were thanked for their help but Steve, our Warden, did manage to be listed in the credits at the end. Staying visitors on the island during the breeding season can be shown this spectacle by our wardens on a dark night during the summer. The calls of the birds are heard all over the island at night and it will be a night to remember if you pay us a visit.
