o:) Your lovely Shearwater reminds me there are not many days left before the migration of these along my coast starts... I won't be able to take a picture, though! ;) Good job capturing one of these fast fliers!!! :t: :t: :t: Un saludo desde Espaa, Rodrigo!!! ;)

Yes they are very common in Chile year round, but like you said they are pretty fast (rapid wing-beats followed by a long glide) and hard to get a picture.
Gracias Marian!!!
