Cor blimey.
With the boat headed full steam back to boston from Stelwagen Bank off the cape, this freshly moulted Cory's Shearwater allowed me to snap 85 times as it flew parallel to us. Most were blurred, wings chopped off etc. as a moving boat is less than ideal, but a good camera and a large memory card trumps all.
