I saw that doco too - the seabird activity I saw looked like mostly
Flesh-footed Shearwaters with a few Indian Yellow-nosed and Black-browed
Albatross, but obviously wasn't the focus of much of the filming. But a few of
the claims in the film seemed a little exaggerated, I didn't see much to
suggest it would any better than Albany.
But who knows - as a certified (or should that be certifiable :S) seabird
tragic, I would of course be very happy to check it out...................any
charter boats in Bremer Bay?.....
