Just to finish up the rest of the seabirds encountered on Christmas Day. We had about half a dozen Grey-backed Storm Petrels which were our only sightings of the entire trip. A very distinctive looking bird. Also large numbers of prions present. While they were most likely to be Slender-billed Prions, Fairy and Antarctic are also possiblities (any prion experts out there?). They seem to vary so much and were probably the most headwrecking species group on the cruise.
