Observation details
Second Hornsby record. Pair spotted by Eric Stager flying between Ponds 1W and 2 at 8:05. After a couple of minutes, they flew northwards and directly overhead, to the delight of our group. Large mostly solid dark chocolate brown seabirds with white from bellies to vents and underneath brown-edged wings. One bird had a very clean line between breast and white belly, the other (presumed juvenile) was defined but with a bit more gradient and some patchy lighter brown on the belly. Thick yellowish-ivory bills; yellow near faces and neatly around eyes; dark blue patches in front of eyes; yellow feet. Thrilling lifer for most in attendance!
