Greater Shearwater




I just got back from a family vacation on Emerald Isle. I managed zero 
birding, but on the 20th I found a Greater Shearwater while watching a 
pod of Dolphins. The Shearwater was sat in the ocean about 30 yards 
offshore. After about ten minutes it flew a short way east, parallel with 
the shore. It then repeated this pattern of rest / short-flight until it 
passed beyound view.
