Abundant but more restricted to three discrete breeding areas with less dispersal, more than one
species could be involved. Southern Indian Ocean, South Georgia and Falklands, and south-east Australia and New Zealand are the three areas involved.
Both this and the next species are fairly easily distinguished from other prions by broad black tail bands among other features, but away from breeding areas
separating the two is problematic. The photos were taken off South Georgia, where Fulmar Prion doesn't occur.
