Fairy Prion - Pachyptila turtur
Sightings:
Port Fairy Pelagic: 2013: April.
Notes:
Apparently the smallest prion, and is the one seen on pelagic trips off south-eastern Australia.
They are larger than Storm-petrels but smaller than most other pelagic species. They have a distinctive marking on their wings like an M.
They are really at home at sea!
