On a pelagic charter off Sydney yesterday (October 5th) the highlights were
a Northern Royal Albatross (possibly a first for the Sydney boat - certainly
a first Sydney record for Dion Hobcroft, Steve Anyon-Smith and myself), an
intermediate morph Kermadec Petrel and a very strange partially albino (or
leucistic) Great-winged Petrel. 

There were heaps of birds around and a good total of 22 species recorded.

The regular Sydney pelagic next Saturday (October 11th) still has space, so
give Hal a call at 0411 311 236 to make a booking.

Cheers

Roger McGovern
