CommentI noticed that Streaked Shearwater was one of the species needing more images on the Birdlife website so I have dug out this image that I took on a Port Stephens pelagic. We don't often see this bird but it is an occasional summer visitor. This one obliged by doing a few fly bys the boat on our journey out to the continental shelf. A faster shutter speed ensured that the flight was frozen. He/she was in immaculate condition as well.
EquipmentCanon 7D, Canon 300mm 1:2.8L IS II USM @f8, ISO500, 1/2000.
LocationPort Stephens, New South Wales
