On the 6 Sept leading one of our pelagic boat trips approx. 2.5m N of Staithes this amazing petrel appeared only 50m from the boat. It was fairly rough at the time my guests were sat sheltering from the splash zone. I shouted Pterodroma everyone thought I had gone mad! A moment I will never forget.
