Observation details
Expected offshore this time of year. Small "black-and-white" shearwaters. On our way back later in the day, we chummed heavily 30 to 20 miles from land, hoping to lure in some Manx Shearwaters for a closer look. This band of range seems to be the preferred habitat for Manx, possibly because of the higher number of sand eels. Right on cue, we started seeing distant Manx. A pair of birds made the closest past of the day, crossing the back of our wake. I was able to get great looks in my binoculars and even a documentation shot! It was a great way to end another incredible day out on the Atlantic Ocean.
