Hi all
I was given a photo and comments of S-tSws in the Bearing Sea near the Aleutian Islands. "The boat travelled at a slow speed and took almost half an hour to cross the flock which extended on either side of the boat as far as the eye could see."
The noise was incredible and they were feeding on krill.
So they travel from arctic to Antarctic for food, amazing.
Cheers  Chris
