Hi everyone, 
With regards to Peter Waanders' question about lighthouses and bird
kills, while I was staying at the Eddystone Point lighthouse in Tassie
over summer I had the opportunity to monitor the lighthouse kills. I saw
mainly dead or dying shearwaters, one Australasian Gannet, and
occasionally what looked like some kind of storm-petrel. The numbers
weren't huge, and dead birds mainy turned up on foggy nights. These
kills were definitely outnumbered by the thousands of shearwaters etc
that were washed up on the beaches. 

Cheers, Lainie
