If you take a boat trip for the Shearwaters, you can leave it at home I think.In the west, there are frequent boat trips from Porto or Calvi to the Golf of Porto and the Scandola peninsular, where Ospreys bread. You may see Shearwaters from these, I guess best taking a boat from Calvi (longer boat trip outside the golf). Arriving by ferry may also be good for that. I think thievery etc. is much less a problem in Corsica, compared to e.g. southern France, but I may be mistaken.</blockquote>
