    Fluttering

    "John from Western Australia" said I'd need a shot of the underwings to tell whether that Shearwater was a Fluttering or a Hutton's, so I went back to my photo trail to see if I had such a shot, and sure enough ... Posted this one, and got the answer: Looks best for Fluttering...

    Fluttering Hutton's

    Thanks to Andrew & Gavin for helping to identify these birds via the BF Forum. We have debated whether they are Fluttering or Hutton's Shearwaters. I have opted for Fluttering, but am happy to be corrected. Whatever, this is a first for us. We were quietly sailing off North Haven, a...
