Trevor was once again a guide on a ZEST for BIRDS pelagic trip today and Margaret also joined the trip. The sea was flat and there was virtually not a breath of wind the entire day, but it also meant that we were plagued with thick mist and totally grey skies for most of the day. Unfortunately, we were also not able to locate a trawler during the day, so the numbers of birds were right down. Nothing out of the ordinary was seen, but there were still a handful of late summer migrants around (Cory's Shearwater, European Storm Petrel and Arctic Tern) and we also had our first Pintado Petrels of the winter season.
