Albany Pelagic Trips 3rd & 4th May - brief highlights

[John Graff <>]

Hi all,

Full trip reports to come when they are done (there's still some discussion to 
be had), but some preliminary highlights from the Albany pelagic trips run over 
the weekend included:

Saturday 3rd:
Wandering Albatross [sp] (3-4)
Campbell Albatross (2)
FAIRY PRION (1 - this is a very good bird for WA!)
Slender-billed Prion (1 - TBC)
Antarctic/Salvin's type Prion (1 - TBC)
Wilson's Storm-Petrel (c. 500)
BLACK-BELLIED STORM-PETREL (40)
SOUTH POLAR SKUA (1 - probably a second too, unfortunately only seen briefly)

Sunday 4th:
Wandering Albatross [sp] (1)
Soft-plumaged Petrel (1 dark morph)
Wilson's Storm-Petrel (c. 500)
BLACK-BELLIED STORM-PETREL (20)
Little Shearwater (35, including quite good views of this notoriously 
frustrating species!)
SOUTH POLAR SKUA (2 - again only seen quite distantly)
ARCTIC TERN (3+)

Cheers
John
