I do hope those people on the recent Portland and Sydney Pelagics appreciate
how lucky they really are.  Some of us have been going on Pelagics for over 10
years and not seen some of these birds.

What is going on with all the Bulwer's Petrel sightings?  Why and how could
these birds reach the East coast of Australia? (They should be off the west
coast). Water temperature off Sydney and Wollongong is exceptionally low at
the moment could this be a factor?  Is it the weather, lack of observers or
just lost birds?  I do hope the very serious haze problems in Indonesia is not
a factor.


Regards
Tony
