Scilly Pelagic no 8 - Other Shearwaters

The Gannets normally announce a feeding frenzy from quite a distance, here's a taste of the numbers...



Homing in on one of the 1000+ Manx Shearwater...




And a taste of the views we were treated to from the estimated 75+ Sooty Shearwaters!



Head on moments, particularly cool!



Then away...



Just one Wilson's Petrel kept the BIG 3 tally going to 8 out of 8!! The light was seriously dropping and into the record shot zone at crazy ISO levels...


Now we know the Tuna are around, tomorrow with much more time and good light, the prospects look good!
