6 Herons Storm Petrels today and 4 storm petrel / Bulwer's Petrels,
mostly heading west.
At 0702 watch saw a small light colored shearwater and
at 1007 2 more were seen by King + Brittle. These are the
first shearwaters seen since the first day of the cruise.
At 0840 Bately saw an Arctic Tern "diving into water - on last
dive did not reappear above waves." Later, at 1717 King +
Brittle saw 2 more, all 3 heading N.
J Wedgetails, all light phase. On several occasions it was
evident that the wedgetail was following the ship. Dean Alators
It is impossible to tell if the same bird followed most of
the day.
-10 Sooty Shearwaters today, in 16+20, all heading NW.
