Scilly Pelagic - Great Shearwater!

There's often a 'last gasp' bird on these pelagics. Something that hasn't been seen but  turns up out of the blue when all seems lost? We hadn't seen a Great Shearwater and I was on the third trip out, when... just before we were about to head back, what should mysteriously 'appear'?

And  it did show rather well if briefly!
