The amazing numbers of interesting seabirds in NSW waters continues (see
reports from Tony Palliser and Rod Gardner). On Tuesday 8-2-2000 returning
from Brush Island to Ulladulla we recorded a Grey Ternlet (Blue-grey Noddy
is a much better name!) foraging about 1 NM SE of Ulladulla...... it was
coming your way Rod!!
We even managed to band some seabirds!!
