Streams past in long single-file flocks hugging the water surface, all heading the same way, quite unlike gull flocks
A few rapid wingbeats followed by stiff-winged gliding that shears along the wave face
Dark brown-black above and white below, flickering dark-white as it banks
Never perches ashore on posts or rocks, so a black-and-white bird sitting on the shore is not a shearwater
Bill slender, dark and hook-tipped, lacking the yellow bill of Scopoli's shearwater
