It includes information, numbers and and graphics relating the seabird passage
observed from the Estaca de Bares cape (A Coruna, Galicia, NW Spain) along 152
days of 2008.



282.198 birds moving westwards and 5.135 moving eastwards were counted in 519,25
hours. The most numerous species moving westwards were Northern Gannet (149.053
inds.), Manx Shearwater (42.963 inds.), Cory's Shearwater (19.648 inds.),
Kittiwake (16.813 inds.) and Sooty Shearwater (11.315 inds.). Due to their
abundance in the area, Lesser Black-backed Gull and Yellow-legged Gull were not
counted.
