birds of the subantarctic

["Geoff Kay" <>]

Hi Everyone.

Just a reminder that this afternoon a lecture will be given on the 
conservation of the subantarctic. I have included many lovely pictures of 
rare species for you all...including Bounty Island Cormorant (<300 world 
wide). Many nice pictures of albatrosses, king penguins and the like ... all 
accompanying an overview of the major threats facing the islands as I 
percieved them.
Hope to see you all there!!! And yes, a bar will be in action!

5:15-6:30 today (26th Tuesday)
at CSIRO Discovery Centre, Clunies Ross St, Black Mountain

Bring any nature enthusiasts!

cheers, geoff
