I'm interested in trying to get some photographs of the Balearic, Sooty and Cory's Shearwaters spotted at Porthgwarra and Pendeen, but would like to know if it's worth the effort.
Would they land on the mainland cliffs, or if not how far out to sea are they likely to be?
I Use Canon digital SLR's (5D and 30D) with a 600mm lens and 1.4/2x extenders, but even with that there's little point trying if they are half a mile out to sea, only landing on islands.
Any advice from someone who's seen them there, or knows their general behaviour, would be very welcome.
Cheers,
Matt
