birding-aus Worlds rarest Albatross visits Wollongong

[SOSSA-Smith&Jenkin-Smith <>]

So soon the questions have come in !  To answer some of your questions,

1.      Yes,  the Amsterdam Albatross was photographed by Tony Palliser, he 
managed to 
        get some photos, between the rain.  We anxiously are waiting to see the 
10x8 
        glossys. 

2.      Yes, those lucky other souls who were on board did also get to see this 
        albatross !!
        See Tony Palliser's home page (http://www.zip.com.au/~palliser) for the 
        
        Wollongong Boat Trip Report 26th September 1999.

3.      The Albatross was captured and banded off Wollongong by  Lindsay Smith, 
Peter   
        Milburn aboard the Sandra "K" skippered by Capt. Carl Loves             
        
        and Vince Murphy (Deckhand). 
        
        Thank you to all who attended for your support,  Keep the questions 
coming, and 
        thank you for your interest in the worlds seabirds.

P.S.    Black Noddy, Anous minutus, 
        was also a "First"  for Wollongong! on the same trip. 

Cheers Lindsay
