The ocean has no rest stops, so seabirds like albatrosses and petrels just sleep on the waves. Frigatebirds go further, napping mid-flight for seconds at a time with half their brain still awake.

Wilson’s storm-petrels are steadily making their way in. Three on tonight’s Scilly Pelagic - two moulting adults and one fresh juv. - alongside 30 or so European storm-petrels. Two early Sabine’s gulls were a welcome bonus #ScillyPelagics #ScillyBirds #Seabirds

Walking along the beach at Deception Island, the Pintado Petrels (Daption capensis) were only meters away. With sound you can hear them barking and squawking. #BirdingAntarctica #petrels #seabirds

I see Hadoram has just posted this on FB so thought I'd post here. My illustrations for some of the species in a Monograph on the Gadfly Petrels (Pterodroma). Definitely a few corrections/changes yet to be made to this and other plates of course!
Have a great Christmas everybody!
