Fairy Prion Pachyptila turtur (31)
IUCN Red list status: Least Concern
(Swartstertwalvisvoël)
Experiences with species

On the SA Agulhas II, we were looking at the prions very closely. This stumpy beaked little individual flapped past, looking quite different - because it was, it was a Fairy Prion, my first ever. On the Eaglehawk pelagic, they were absolute trash birds.
