After speaking to David Mitford, I would like to
report 2 of his sightings from Magic Pt, Maroubra:
GREY-HEADED ALBATROSS (juv.) 13/7/02 (ie.) present
two weekends in a row and same time of day and place, though we missed it
on our sea watch 14/7/02)
ARCTIC TERN (seen with Rod Gardner) early this
week (these Terns appear to be regular off the east coast in small numbers in
winter).
David has also got me envious over his pod of
"ORCAS" (KILLER WHALES) sighted offshore from Wollongong on Monday
(15/7/02) with SOSSA. And there has also been a sighting of a BLUE WHALE off
Cape Solander, near Sydney in the past few days.
There is no excuse not to get out of bed this
winter!

PS Any further sightings of both "Northern
Shoveler" and "Cotton Pygmy Goose" (the later not for me) in Sydney and
Newcastle?
