After 13 years, Allan Conlin and I are thrilled to share some fantastic news: our sighting of a Barolo’s Shearwater off the North Wirral coast has been officially accepted by the BBRC!
It’s incredibly rewarding to have such a rare and memorable birding moment officially recognised after all these years, a testament to patience, perseverance, and great teamwork!
