Observation details
Behaviour completely different from other prions I have encountered on this trip or previously. Bird stayed loosely with the boat for c45 minutes periodically circling overhead at close range and attempting to land. Superficially similar to fairy prion but with obvious grey wash along flanks, contrasting with pale belly. Chunky, stubby bill with apparent gonydeal angle. Combination of behaviour and subtle plumage features point to fulmar prion. Photo to add.
