Hi,
        With all the talk about the House Crow at Phillip Is., I saw six
brown/black plump birds on the western tip of Seal Rocks on 18th Jan. They
had short beaks/bills and looked like large overweight English blackbirds.
        Any ideas on their ID ? ( Early returning Mutton birds ?)
It was about 7:45pm.  We were wating for the Penguin parade which was
fantastic. We saw the Short-tailed Shearwaters come flying in at
dusk(9:20pm). 
        That was more exciting than the Penguins almost.
Cheers,
        Peter.
