SEO/Birdlife THIRD official report on impact of Prestige wreck on seabirds during the first month (in Spanish). pdf format, 1270 Kb

Red-necked Grebe Podiceps grisegena. The bird found at Banyoles lake, Girona, last month was relocated again at the Desmais area on 16.3 (Xavier Vila, Oriol Clarabuch and other ICO members).At Santoña, Cantabria, there was one winter plumaged bird on 18.3 (J.G.Navedo)

Slavonian Grebe* Podiceps auritus. There were 7 at canal de Ano, Santoña, Cantabria on 1.3 (M.Garrigós, J.Alfredo Hernández, M.Martín, J.M.Pérez de Ana). There were 3 at Ria de Ortigueira, A Coruña, Galicia on 2.3 (Pablo Gutiérrez/ G.O. Sterna)On 8.3 there was a bird at La Granda, Asturies (Daniel López).On 3.3 there still were 8 birds, one moulting to breeding plumage. On 18.3 there remained six (again one moulting to summer plumage) at Santoña,Cantabria (J.G.Navedo).

Mediterranean Shearwater Puffinus yelkouan.NEW NE SPANISH RECORD COUNT. On 13.3, in an hour count from 12:45 to 13:45 at Cap de Creus, Girona, a total of 288 birds were counted all flying S. Only 4 Balearics P.mauretanicus were noted in the same time lapse (Miguel McMinn,Ana Rodriguez, Emma Guinart, Ricard Gutiérrez). Previous counts in the same site (all daylight count): 1.3.2003: 5 Puffinus yelkouan, 34 P.mauretanicus; 8.3.2003: 62 P.yelkouan, 205 P.mauretanicus (Ponç Feliu et al)NEW RECENT RECORD. Although in the 1980s parties up to 2000 birds of yelkouan (and more mauretanicus) had been counted in the Straits of Gibraltar area (E.F.García, pers.com.) no recent sightings of such quantities exist. Hence, the above quantities and the staggering count of 1398 yelkouan in half-a-day migrating S through Cap de Creus, Girona on 15.3 represents the highest recent quantity recorded in Spain. The same day, 550 mauretanicus and 469 unidentified long-distance recorded yelkouan-mauretanicus plus 38 Cory's Shearwaters (Calonectris diomedea diomedea) were recorded (Ponç Feliu, Pablo García). Ed.Comment: According to 13.3 and 1 percentage, is likely that many of 469 unidentified were yelkouan  'entering' the NE Spain 'feeding' area from their French breeding grounds.
