Detalles de la observación
Very late in the morning, I had packed up my scope and was about to leave when this shot through on my last binocular scan. General impression was of a fairly small shearwater, extremely dark blackish above and clean white below. Puffinus proportions evident throughout the 30 seconds I watched it - head/tail projection about equal beyond wings, relatively thick tail, no substantial bill. Flight consistent with Manx; very active dynamic soars, often tilting past vertical on shears and rising quite high at the top of each arc. Made a few passes out beyond the rips and then went very far offshore and looked to continue east. Very fun to watch in the ripping winds. Some poor/distant photos.
