Grey Petrel
Eaglehawk Neck pelagic
Two excellent pelagics off Eaglehawk Neck 18th & 19th August with the highlight being a Grey Petrel that showed off brilliantly to all on the Saturday trip (also another more distant Grey Petrel later in the day was only seen by one or two observers). The good numbers of Southern Royal Albatross were the clear highlight on Sunday, which was much quieter than the previous day with a marked drop in Great-winged Petrels and no prions or storm-petrels.
