I need help identifying a lone largish shearwater I saw flying over Gannet
Beach at Bawley Point last week. I could only make out the general dark
(brownish) colour of the wings, body and head, and the whitish underbelly.
Unfortunately I cant give anymore details. It briefly soared low over the
beach near a Crested Tern before vanishing out to sea again. I suspect it
was one of the common large shearwater species but havent found a picture
which corresponds to what I saw.
