Is Ramsey Island Manx Shearwater Fledgling Exodus happening right now?
As of today, out of season, returns ~August. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Each late summer, newly fledged Manx Shearwaters (Puffinus puffinus) leave their burrows on Ramsey Island at night and fly out to sea.
The mass nocturnal exodus is a predictable seasonal event but is strongly influenced by weather, moonlight and local breeding success.
