Observation details
We found several Terns following our boat and then saw some Skuas come in. Suddenly we saw a Shearwater sitting and flying low in the wake of the boat. It then came closer and gave great views. It mostly hung around a Tuna flock (small Tunas), just like the Terns. I suppose they were all interesting in smaller fish flushed by the Tuna. Some of these Tuna flocks produced great birds! It had a long whitish band on otherwise brown underwings. White underparts otherwise and brown upperparts making it look two-toned split right in the middle.
