Yes Peter,
Seabirds (and birds in general) don't recognise political boundaries and what's
in a book! And some will even cross from one ocean into another! Sea-birders in
particular need to have a view of 'what's out there' well beyond our normal
thinking about birds & their movement in Australia.
Try a few of these for broader seabird references. None of them are perfect.
Some are dated. Combined, they all help!
