Hi Neil, it is a Slender-billed Prion. Narrow bill with long distance between maxillary unguis and nostrils, tiny amount of black at tip of uppertail, long narrow strip of black on undertail coverts and undertail are typical characters. If these winter storms continue you should find many more as well as Antarctic, Salvin's and Fairy Prions.
