The soft-plumaged petrel (Pterodroma mollis) is a species of seabird in the family Procellariidae, found in the Southern Hemisphere. The species is known to breed on Tristan da Cunha, Gough Island, the Prince Edward Islands, the Crozet Islands, Macquarie Island and the Antipodes Islands of New Zealand. At other times of year, the petrel disperses more widely; this light-morph petrel was photographed at Eaglehawk Neck, east of the Tasman Peninsula in Tasmania, Australia.Photograph credit: John Harrison
