Seabird ID please

I spotted this whilst crossing the channel, slowly on a small boat yesterday (9th October 2008). I wonder if anyone can tell me what it is, as I'm rubbish at identifying birds. Especially gulls and other seabirds.

Thanks
Steve

I cannot view your picture - did you submit to the Gallery, instead of the "Archive" I wonder

It's a shearwater of some kind - I would say Manx Shearwater.

Strange I wondered that, because the archive said that it was pending approval.
Is there any way to delete an image if I make that mistake?
BTW Chris Hawes has managed to view the picture, so maybe it has now been approved???

Chris is a Gallery editor so he'll get a sneak preview

Steve,

if you want to use an image straight away in a forum stick it in the archive under "unidentified ....." these are not modorated and appear immediatly, then highlight and copy the forum code in the box below the main picture then just paste it into your post.
