Media notes
A view of an individual soaring at sea (repeated at 50% slow motion). Elevation: 0 m. Date added to IBC: June 23, 2016.
Observation details
Being familiar with both White-chinned and Parkinson's Petrels, the size was the key ID factor, as this was a rather large seabird, not a medium-sized as Parkinson's is (with no overlap). On top of this, we didn't notice any black at the tip of the bill, though we neither saw the white chin, which is usual with White-chinned Petrel observations. We were a group of 14 seabirders, including several very experienced ones (not me!).
