Hi everyone.
Spent some time Sat. and Sun. trying to seawatch
from Soldier's Pt. on the Central Coast. Conditions were difficult.
The following were seen:
Sat. 28/7
Giant Petrel spp. 2
Gannets ~15
Albatross spp 5
Great winged Petrels ~30
These were my first GWP from the CC. having just
learnt to ID this bird with some confidence. They were great to watch in
the strong winds, some birds wheeling very high before dipping back to the
waves.
Sun. 29/7
Giant Petrel 1
Gannets 3
Black-browed Albatross ~15
Shy A. 1
Yellow-nosed A. 1
Great-winged Petrels ~10
Fluttering SW lots
Whit-fronted Tern 1
A question. Are there any other all dark
birds eg Short- or Wedge-tailed SW about at the moment? I saw a couple
that looked a bit different to the GWP. Could just be my
imagination.
Anyone else go seawatching this
weekend?
Regards.
