A presumed WBSP off SEQLD a year or so ago was identified as a Black-bellied on the foot projection, in the end a very small amount of Black could be seen on the Belly in the pictures. I will try to find the link for this.<br />From what I have heard and read about this foot projection is reversed in the Atlantic birds.<br />I am no expert by any stretch but the conversations on the Southport Pelagics usually include this subject and there are some interesting oppinions, I have even heard the Pacific and Atlantic populations sugested as different species?!?! Interesting stuff.<br />Did you notice any interesting feeding behaviour?<br />Mick.Michael McNaghtenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529052791462774900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5864753765745920625.post-88027450867935742902012-08-21T14:57:19.750+01:002012-08-21T14:57:19.750+01:00Nice one Richard.
