Dear Birding-aussers
I am organising two trips to Tasmania to look for the Tasmanian endemics
(around Hobart) and some pelagics (via commercial boat charter) off Eaglehawk
Neck and other assorted birds. The dates are 30 August to 1 September and 15
to 17 November 1997. We leave Melbourne early Saturday and return Monday
evening. The boat trip is a full day trip on the Sunday (31st) and Monday
(17th),
respectively.
The cost is $600 per person per trip (twin-share), ex Melbourne. It includes
airfare, hire cars, accomodation and boat. It does not include meals. For a
slight increase in the cost, I can organise travel for a different city, eg
Sydney,
Adelaide.
Each trip has a maximum of 12 participants, including me.
On the inaugural trip in March, we saw all the endemics, heard Masked Owl and
saw White-chinned Petrel, Common Diving-Petrel and Buller's Albatrosses
among a reasonable range of seabirds.
I still have a couple of vacancies on each trip. Anyone interested? E-mail or
telephone (03 9370 7418 - home, preferably) for more information.
