Bob Flood: Shearwater Identification/Seabird Observatory Auction Night
Over 80 people were captivated by Bob Flood’s highly entertaining and informative talk on shearwater identification, held at the Bridlington Links Golf Clubhouse on 29th September. Concentrating on separating Barolo’s, Boyd’s and Manx Shearwaters, together with Short-tailed from Balearic and Sooty Shearwaters, the evening illustrated cutting edge technologies and identification criteria. This was followed by an auction to raise funds for our proposed Seawatch Observatory. As a result of generous gifts from companies and birders alike, we managed to raise an amazing £3281.
