New Zealand Storm Petrel (Fregetta maoriana)

On a pelagic in Hauraki Gulf we were lucky enough to get looks at the New Zealand Storm Petrel. With a lot of panning I finally got a shot that showed its markings fairly well. Much faster in flight then White faced petrels or so it seemed as I panned on it.

Two cracking pictures of Gallery rarities you've found for us today Ruby.

This is an excellent flight shot - very well done.
