This bird is not so easy. I know it may sound far fetched but I am struggling to rule out Blue Petrel. I will be interested to hear what others have to say. Given the location that would of course be an astonishing record.
Cheers,
Tony

Tony I also suggested they post these pic onto Seabirds and Pelagics Aus Facebook page. As it’s a tricky one.
Even looks similar to Ringed Storm Petrel
