European Storm Petrel

(hydrobates pelagicus)
The Storm Petrel is usually far out to see except when it comes to land to breed. Occasionally some will be swept close to land when caught up in big storms. The bird in these photos was found in Scalloway Harbour, Shetland just after Storm Amy had battered the islands.
