Each morning, I used to rise early and loop the promenade deck a few times, looking for birds that might have crash landed during the night. On the 16th of February I managed to capture a Leach's Storm Petrel that was hidden behind a bench and also a Wedge-tailed Shearwater, which was more out in the open. The 19th February saw me picking up two Wedge-tailed Shearwaters from the same deck. Glad to report that all the birds were safely returned to the sea after a quick once over inspection. The snaps were taken on my phone, so not the best quality, but it gives you an idea.
