Fulmar Petrel

 

 

 

Came across this Fulmar on the reef , thought id check it out to see that it was not caught up in fishing line.Anyhow i think the bird was exhausted and placed it in shelter on the reef.
Thats the last time ill ever handle a Fulmar because now i have a smell on my hands that is so potent.
Is this why they are called Petrels? because i stink of a mixture of petrol and sardines.
