Observation details

Picked out amongst numerous Wilson Storm-Petrels. White belly and white underwing bar. Belly and flanks streaked black. Same size as Wilsons but lacking pale carpal bar of that species. Toes projecting well beyond tail excluding White-bellied Storm-Petrel as confusion species and combination of streaking and lack of black central belly stripe helps to rule our Black-bellied Storm-Petrel. Broad white underwing bar too broad for New Caledonia Storm-Petrel and wings not as long or lanky as that species. Multiple quality photographs taken
