Prion at Rest

Id been waiting for some time to get another attempt at these gorgeous little birds.
I shot this one well off the coast from Noosa. Ill call it as an Antarctic Prion but Im not 100% sure for it could be a Salvins Prion (should not be in this area) or a Fairy Prion.
I was thrilled for I managed to obtain a few very good in flight shots as well.
Kind regards,
Richard

I agree, it is a superb shot :t:

There is a thread in the id forum discussing the id of this bird, and I am sure that other images would be welcomed.

Cheers
Niels
