Birds: /621 6 Sooty Tern travelling 25 Sooty Shearwaters today, in 10, 20 & 30, all heading NW. 4 were seen in a group sitting on the water by Bradley before they flew. 17 Harcourt's Storm Petrels and 1 at one petrel off., all of former being Type B, 2 pairs were sea. A Pomarine Jaeger was headed NW at 0807. Two sightings of Arctic Terns, 1st 0908 and 2 at 1240 headed N+W respectively. The latter two were evidently sitting on the water ahead of the ship. The previous sighting of 2 several days ago prompted me to think they too were getting up off the water. Two Wedgetails - both light phase At /1110 a once Newell's Shearwater was seen heading N.
