Hi all, I sympathise with Chris Dahlberg,Thomas
& Thomas gave a none to complimetary report on Brisbane pelagics without
apparently doing too much research! However the latest Wheatley book I have been
informed corrects this,we now go out from Southport so the long trip across
Moreton Bay has been eliminated.The following notes should whet a few appetites,
approx.50 kilometres east of Southport Qld.on the Continental Slope,final
chumming site;
- Tahiti Petrel - 5
- Providence Petrel - 14
- Great winged Petrel - 2
- Black Petrel - 1
- Wedge tailed Shearwater - 1
- Flesh footed Shearwater - 1
- Wilson's Storm Petrel - 8
This is not the full trip numbers.Many people
even regulars,commented on the outstanding views of the Tahitis as they more
than held their own against the larger Petrels to get at the fish and offal off
the stern of the vessel.The Black Petrel was a first for a Sea world pelagic and
will be submitted to B.A.The next trip is on the 22nd of May and no, I
can't guarantee Tahiti Petrel, most of them would have left by then.Cheers -
Paul Walbridge.
