It is dark and rather cool. 0648 Cook's Petrel 1 NE - Too far out & insufficient light to be sure - definitely a large size Pterodroma with white belly and much dark in underwing.

[illegible] light. 0726 NO 0741 066 - BREAK FAST 0745 Cooks Petrel 1 N - head, neck & back black. Underwing border bar as in bird of 0648.
