Kelp Gull at Scarborough Boat Harbour (SE Queensland)

["Robert Inglis" <>]

Hello Birding-Ausers,
A short note to those 'twitchers' within striking range of Redcliffe, SE 
Queensland, Australia, who
have yet to see the Kelp Gull that has been visiting here for some weeks now.
I observed a Kelp Gull on a boat-mooring pylon in the Scarborough Boat Harbour 
at approx. 9:00 am
this morning, 4/11/2002.

As this is a rare species for this area it is probably the same bird that has 
been observed around
the Redcliffe Peninsula for some time now.
I say "probably" because the last time I saw this bird it appeared to have a 
barbecue skewer (?)
protruding from its chest.
There was no evidence of the skewer this morning.

Directions to Scarborough Boat Harbour:
On the Redcliffe Peninsula north of Brisbane.
See UBD Refidex "Brisbane"

Good luck
Bob Inglis
