There's a Southport pelagic on this weekend which holds some

from North Stradbroke Island ( I think), only the second such record. Cheers -

I think possibly, the recent southerly's may have pushed up a fair number
of Common Diving Petrels up our eastern coast, judging by the number of
sightings recently off Sydney and elsewhere. Has anybody any other
explanations?
The 3 seperate individual Diving Petrels we saw last Monday from Magic
Pt, Maroubra, were all heading down south. I think they breed on the Bass Strait
Islands in winter. They are such marvelous little seabirds, especially by
the way they fly.
cheers!
