The significance of these recent tideline corpses is that they are the first records for this species in East Glamorgan since 1988, which unfortunately was also dead [SJM]. The last live sighting was 1985 at Sker [WS]. With the Little Auk record and these Puffin records, it's worth checking the tideline just to see how many seabirds have fallen victim to these recent Atlantic gales.
Note: If you have any sightings of this nature please pass them on to the relevant CR. Many thanks.

Sadly myself and NPR counted 35 dead birds on Rhossilli Beach in 500m on Wednesday. The wardens were out picking up the corpses and told us they had found over 200 - mainly Razorbills in 5km on that beach alone. It was carnage.
wow! thats very sad
