| Sun 26 | | Matsudaira's Storm-petrel
Casuarina Beach |
|
| Found by Mairi Walsh, washing around in the waves at the beach and handed it in. It has since died and will be given to the Darwin Museum.
There are 2 possibilities i.e. Matsudaira's or Swinhoes and differentiating feature at this stage is the deep tail-fork (MSP). There seem to be a lack of white tail primaries visible on most MSP's (and actually on Swinhoes's to a degree also).
