Hi
I'm looking through some old photos. This one was taken 10 Aug 2010, somewhere between the Equator and Spain out on the Atlantic (travelling by freighter).
My first thought was albatross, but they usually stay in the southern hemisphere. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Look like Cory's Shearwaters to me.

Agreed. Doesn't look like enough white in the fingers for Scopolis and the plainly yellow bills look like Cory's over Cape Verde.
