Finally got a picture with a Snow Petrel in (note two white specks on right hand side of photo).
We first noticed some birds flying around while we were prepping for the Grune Hogna field trip, and upon consulting Google, we found out that they are Antarctic Petrels. These were around for a few weeks, but then disappeared and were replaced by Snow Petrels. Both types are ridiculously fast, and by the time you have your camera ready they are already gone again - so that is the reason why they just look like two specks on the pic. The Snow Petrels are much more inquisitive and flies really close to us, but of course this only happens when nobody has a camera close.
Hopefully I'll get a proper photo soon...
