New Zealand Birds | Birds | Gallery | blue petrel, Halobaena caerulea A very heavy sea this morning. It is drizzling with rain but there is no wind. A storm out at sea has brought a wreck of petrels scattered up and down the beach, left there as the tide has receded. In the space of the two or so miles I walk every morning, there must be thirty or forty birds. I guess they are petrels but I have to say sea birds are not my strong point and I have no idea which species. Most of them are blue grey above and white underneath and in size not much bigger than a blackbird or thrush but with startling cobalt blue legs.
