Hi all,
Trip to Lawrence Rocks off
Portland yesterday with Fisheries.
Little Penguin (sev. Ads &
Young)
Cape Gannet (4)
Aust. Gannet 1000's
Black-faced Cormorant
(60+)
Crested Terns (150+)
Silvergull (100+)
Sooty Oystercatcher
(2)
White-faced Heron (3)
Swamp Harrier (1)
Whistling Kite
(1)
White-throated Needletails two small flocks
Aust. Fur Seal
(1)
The wind picked up and swung around to the west in the late afternoon
and thousands of gannets immediately turned around and faced into the
breeze. Some of the young birds made their (ungainly) way to the cliff
edge and amid a lot of wing beating a few finally decided to
take the big step and launched themselves into space and
fledge.
