When a shearwater touches water and sun
Pink footed shearwaters are oceanic seabirds, that live almost all their lives in water. They only come to shore to nest one time per year. The rest of the year they feeding on squids and small fishes; resting and sleeping in open waters. This one was resting and decided to get close to our boat and have a curious look to us.
