13 Harcunts Storm Petrels, Type B and 1 storm petrel up
seen today, all travelling N to W as were almost all
of the birds seen today.
8 wedgetails all light phase all heading NW
9 Sooty Shearwaters travelling NW except one misguided
bird who was headed E, undoubtedly a black noddy
3 Pomarine Jaegers, 1 light phase, then 1 light / dark,
heading NW.
at 1027 an all grey bird was seen, tern-like but much
larger than Sooty Tern, long gray tail feathers, flew into
large term on jaeger. Decided it was one of the smaller
Jaegers, probably parasitic.
2 Bulwers + 1? heading W or NW
At 1206 a Tern of some sort was seen very high - at least
200 ft high.
at 1250 Dave saw another Arctic Tern - white long tail,
grey back & black cap.
at 1752 saw an adult White Tailed Tropicbird at 100 ft
headed N. first one of cruise.
More activity today than last couple of days. Should
be very good tomorrow
