Dear Birders
Thank you to Mike Carter for very comprehensive report; this comes at perfect
timing as I have just (finally) booked a week visit for end of May, (from UK
via
Malaysia). Not wanting to open up the debate about listing on CI again but for
those twitchers and listers (me included) maybe someone might want to make a
guess as to likelihood of the vagrant bitterns staying. Do they depart from
the
island ie migrate back north or do they 'stay' for ever? Are the records of
vagrants from recent years readily available to view on a database?
Also has anyone tried any mini pelagic trips just off shore, may be with
dive/fishing boats - I believe Matsudaira's Storm-Petrel and White-faced
Storm-Petrel might be a possibility though I'm not sure if end of May is
suitable.
Thank you for any advice
