All taken at sea off Yi Lan near Guishan Island, Taiwan in Aug 23

What kind of tern is it in 0666a?

Is 0568a a kind of storm petrel?

ID for 0624a as well?

Thanks!

Thanks John & Paul. I haven't seen shearwater or petrel in HK before

Hi Ed,

Did you take the shots from a ferry, or were you on a seabirding tour ?

(BTW - another Bulwer's Petrel shot here

Sorry for my late reply. Actually I was on a 2-hour boat tour for watching dolphins
