Scillies Pelagic

Another pelagic out of St Mary's, Isles of Scilly and amazingly, despite being an exceptionally poor year for the species regarding sightings, we managed to see a Wilson's Petrel probably some ten minutes before returning to shore! I was unable to take any photos, instead concentrating on observing the identification features, but a number of people on the boat did manage some record shots that will soon be hopefully be available.
