Observation details

At least this many tallied at once but probably more. Small fluttery storm-petrels with short, shallowly-forked tails. Most with bright white rumps, but one was a dark-rumped individual. Seen well in proximity to Leach's and Blacks, especially at a slick that drew them in close to the boat.
