Hi All,

I recently went on a boat trip in the Bay of Islands, which was amazing, with plenty of wildlife to watch.

I believe that these are Fluttering Shearwater and Buller's but thought I would double check on here first.

Many Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris.

first birds are probably Fluttering shearwaters, hard to rule out Hutton's in these photos though. Next photos are definitely Buller's shearwaters as is the last photo of the bird sitting on the water. Middle 3 photos all look like Flesh-footed shearwaters.
