This morning a Manx Shearwater west past The Patch was of note. News of pallet with 1,000s of Goose Barnacles attached being washed up near the fishing boats was definitely worth seeing. The pallet must have come from warmer climes and been adrift for good while for so many of these beautiful filter feeding crustaceans to be attached.
