Trip Report - Cape Town Pelagics - 18 January 2015. 3 Albatross species, Long-tailed Jaeger, Great-winged Petrel, Great and Flesh-footed Shearwater, Spectacled Petrel, Parasitic and Pomarine Jaeger. We were soon at the iconic Cape Point where early morning sunlight really made for some great photographs. Shortly after the point, we encountered a Parasitic Jaeger. And our first White-chinned Petrels. For the day. As we progressed outwards toward the trawling grounds we started seeing Cory's Shearwaters.

Trip Report - Cape Town Pelagics - 11 April 2015. Manx Shearwater, 4 species of albatross, over a thousand Great Shearwater, and Northern Giant Petrel in beautiful pelagic birding conditions. We departed Hout Bay harbour aboard a Cape Town Pelagics trip with Seth Musker, our trip leader and Jurgen, the skipper. Conditions were wonderfully calm, though chilly and rather misty. A few birds emerged as ghostly figures from the mist, materialising as Swift Terns. Powering purposefully low over the swell.
