Black-bellied Storm Petrels and 3 species of Albatross
Southport Pelagic - off the shelf
5 Black-bellied Storm Petrels along with Wilson's yesterday. Young Shy and Black-browed Albatrosses and an adult Yellow-nosed. Good numbers of Wedge-taileds (100s) back along with good numbers of Hutton's Shearwaters and Providence Petrels and a few Gannets. We had to leave the shelf early due to the arrival of 30kt winds!
