Observation details
Very odd flock of birds northbound at 9:37. Birds appeared dark above and mostly white below with fast, steady and direct flight. Seen adjacent to BVSH they were slightly smaller and shorter winged (also lacked the meandering glides of shearwaters). Underwings we're whitish at the leading edge and dark on the trailing. Seemingly black from the neck up to the head. Similar overall to COMU (which is what my first thought) but noticably smaller bodied and longer winged. Perhaps I was just looking at a very closely packed flock of BVSH that was not soaring for whatever reason.
