Scilly Pelagic No 1 - Stormies

A ticketless evening session to kick off, 5 - 10pm with a 15mph westerly wind. Shearwaters (apart from 1 Manx Shearwater) were conspicuous by their absence and just the 1 Great Skua having a look.....

There were plenty of European Storm Petrels however, to set the challenge of capturing a flight shot or two?

I never tire of seeing these amazing small birds which seem 'as one' with their environment out to sea


A sequence of underwing shots.....






Plus a couple of closer encounters!




Bring on a Wilsons??!!
