early in the day may have been a Jouanin's Petrel but was distant and unidentified for certain. Shortly out of Scott Reef, three beaked whales were seen well but not certainly identified to species. The animals were brick red in colour with pale head markings and an indented blowhole but no raised jawline and no wholly pale melon (ruling out Longman's Beaked Whale). They were also too large for tropical mesoplodonts such as Blainville's so through a process of elimination were considered probable Cuvier's Beaked Whales. More
