Hi All,

Passing on a sighting from my father who was fishing on the Parramatta River 
and saw a Fairy Penguin off the wharf at Margaret St at Hunters Hill, on 
Thusday 24/5.  This is the furtherst up the harbour that he's seen them, 
although he has also seen them before at Greenwich Wharf, and regularly at 
Neutral Bay.  Not sure how far up the harbour/Parramatta River others have seen 
them, but interesting all the same. And save the comments about heavy metal 
fish from the harbour - I grew up on a diet of the stuff, and I mean a diet.  
Cheers.

Frank
