We were delayed, however, because of other ships leaving the harbor and ships with higher priority than ours entering. There are many birds around. These included lots of Pterodroma, and Wedge-tails. There were at least 8 Pomarine Jaegers around the ship at one time and at least 3 Black-footed Albatross.
