While setting out transect No I I saw
a long tailed jaeger flying overhead.
Another individual was seen in flight
leading in a north east direction. Both
of these individuals flew towards me
so that they came within 20-30 feet
of me.

and IV B, I noticed a group of 13
long tailed and parasitic jaegers

dispersed all going in different
directions. This is the first occasion &on
