Whilst I'm not a disastrous sailor, I'm not a great one either. Can anyone point to excellent sea watching locations world wide that I could target for seeing a good range of genuine seabirds, that's albatrosses, shearwaters, petrels, etc. I know UK sites very well already and also Madeira.
Pelagic trips that have a reputation for seeing benign conditions, or that are fairly short duration would also be great to know. Again, not UK - I've done a Scillonian pelagic and several evening trips out of Scilly, and not been ill on any of these, luckily.
Any huge ferries that are stable even in bad conditions but reliably see superb sea birding (but not Bay of Biscay, as I'm well aware of those).
Breeding colonies are probably easy to ID on the web I would imagine but any that offer an outstanding range of species would be good to hear about. They need to be accessible without a really nasty boat trip though!
Thanks,
Andy
