Pelagic birding is a lottery; you never know what to expect while following trawlers about 40 sea miles off Cape Point. However, we were in the competent hands of Vincent Ward on this memorable day in July 2022.
Highlights of the day were a Southern Giant Petrel (White Morph), a rare sight off our coast. The majestic Wandering Albatross, and a quick fly-by of a Northern Royal Albatross. Cape Town Pelagics Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels. Itching to get back out into the deep.
