Meanings
-
A long-winged pelagic seabird, Puffinus puffinus, of the family Procellariidae.
Manx shearwaters lounge on the sheeny swell before pattering along and coasting away on stiff, elongated wings. Keep your eyes peeled for a chocolate- and-oatcakecoloured version of the Manxie.
2006, James Lowen, A Summer of British Wildlife, page 141:Together with its neighbouring island Skokholm, Skomer is home to the highest concentration of Manx shearwaters in the world.
