What I forgot to mention, was that a pair of
Peregrine Falcons were in pursuit of a single Feral Pigeon upto atleast 3 km out
at sea which was quite amazing. At this time of the year, they can be seen
catching Prions out at sea, which we have witnessed over the last couple of
years. Rod said that he had not seen these Peregrines for quite some time. Good
to see that they are still around.
Although, we had scopes, one could still have great
views of all the birds (the Albatross, Prions, Diving Petrels and the
Arctic Tern) even with a 8 x 40 binoculars.
Thanks Rod and Lorne for making it a superb
morning.
