Seabird Challenges

Identifying birds at sea is always a challenging process. Don't we all know it! And this of course is the great challenge of seabird birdwatching and participating in pelagics. Most birds seen are relatively easy to ID, but there are a number which really challenge the observer. In particular there are those identifications which result from studying photographs after the event. This page offers a selection of images that have been sent to us by photographers or were taken on our trips.
