I don’t know if I ever have a chance to take any photos of Manx shearwaters which will be different from the pictures that I have taken of fluttering shearwaters or Mediterranean shearwaters. A huge distance, a momentary flight and that’s how the contact with this species always ends, so does an attempt to take shots. This time was the same.
