EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful snapshot captured by FLPA/Mike Lane, we witness a truly extraordinary moment in nature's playbook. Meet our feathered friend, the Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus), who has decided to take a break from its usual oceanic habitat and embark on an unexpected swimming escapade along Hatton's canal in Warwickshire, England. With its sleek black feathers glistening under the September sun, this adult shearwater gracefully glides through the calm waters with ease. Who would have thought that these sea birds could adapt so effortlessly to freshwater environments? It seems they are not just masters of flight but also skilled swimmers! As it navigates through the picturesque English countryside, this vagrant visitor brings a touch of wild magic to an otherwise tranquil scene. Its presence reminds us that nature always finds ways to surprise and delight us. The autumn air carries whispers of adventure as our daring shearwater explores uncharted territories far from its typical coastal domain. With each stroke of its webbed feet, it leaves ripples behind – a gentle reminder that even amidst our busy lives, there is always room for exploration and discovery. So next time you find yourself strolling along Hatton's canals or any waterway for that matter, keep your eyes peeled for unexpected visitors like this charming Manx Shearwater. You never know what wonders might be lurking
