Observation details
11 just inshore of the shelf break on the way out, with a further six birds pelagic. Only birds arriving from the north counted. Notably, many of these birds were interested in the slick, and were seen to feed on the burley right behind the boat. Feeding largely occurred with short dives from the air, the birds extending their feet to land/walk on the water and scooping food off the surface in on smooth motion before flapping and circling around. Feeding was observed in numerous individuals through the day, but particularly in the mid morning.
