Wilson's Storm Petrel

Today saw the 3rd West Coast Pelagic of 2022 out into the Celtic Deep on board the Helen Clare.  A bit lumpy, but the best yet, topped off with at least 3 Wilson's Storm Petrel spending at least an hour feeding in the slick with a flock of 40+ European Storm Petrel.  Other highlights included Arctic Skua, 5 Arctic Tern, 17 Whimbrel over and an Ocean Sunfish.  Already looking forward to trip #4 on Wednesday!
