Description

Full details of this event

Between October and November, many juvenile Cory’s shearwaters become disoriented by artificial lights and end up landing on roads and in populated areas.
📦 If you find a Cory’s shearwater:
  • Approach it calmly and, preferably, wear gloves.
  • Cover it with a cloth or towel.
  • Place it in a ventilated cardboard box.
  • Take it to one of the campaign’s collection points.
