Andy Jensen, Stuart Pickering, Tom Tarrant and I spent yesterday afternoon
sea-watching off Point Lookout (North Stradbroke Island, SEQ) in 20-25 kt S to
SEs. This was my first trip there - I'm more of a pelagic boat trip than
seawatching from land fan! However, there were lots of birds including 10+
Yelllow-nosed and 1 Black-browed Albatross, 15-20 Prion sps. (3 or 4 in the
near surf were all certainly Fairy Prions), 2 Giant Petrel Sps, c 15 Common
Noddies and a few Fluttering Shearwaters, large nos. of Aus Gannets, Crested
Terns, Silver Gulls etc. Add to that all the Hump-backed Whales and
Bottle-nosed Dolphins which were constantly in view - it made for a pleasant
Sunday afternoon. SEabird wise - the views are what you would expect from land
but I was genuinely impressed with the no. of birds (for SEQ I should add). The
signs look good for some winter stuff on the Southport trip on the 17th July.
