Manx Shearwater / Atlantiksturmtaucher / Puffinus puffinus

We did float up rather close to their rafts without motor powerto see the little cuties closer and meanwhile where told the story of the mystery mix up with the latin name rather suggersting a Fratercula (little brother), well, a Puffin, we did of course know already.... / Man elaubte unserem Boot ohne Antrieb ganz nahe an die schwimmenden Verbaende herantreiben um all die kleinen Schaetzchen naeher zu sehen, und waehrend dessen wurde uns die Geschichte erzaehlt warum der lateinische Name des Vogels eher dem englischen eines Papageitauchers entspricht. Nur wer da mitfuhr wusste das alles schon....
