We had to stay up until 2:37am and we were really tired.
But it was worth it because we caught 3 storm petrels, it wasnt
as dark as we thought so it wasnt ideal really.
But the storm petrels were so cute and they had a very nice
oily smell, there really small and cool and it was the first time I had
ever done tape-luring so I was really exited!
Storm petrels have a little tube on top of thier beaks but the tube isnt
thier nostril its used to vomit from, which probably isnt very nice actually.
When we caught the first one it vomited on my step-dads hand, it was funny, but
storm petrels are so small i dont think it would bother you, being vomited on
by a fulmar would be discusting though because thier the same size as sea gulls.
But I have a picture of a storm petrel here - please note : there is a ring on the storm petrels foot, this is what bird rings look like.
