G'day Val, Mike, Martin and All,
If you put together the recent events and sightings
re: Southern Right Whales, very young Southern Right
Whale calf, rare birds visiting, both on land and at
sea.
Rather large shark sightings, etc etc is any study
other then my own being done on the what I believe to
be the occurence of rising water temps of Western Port
Bay?
Rainfall drops bay water temp rises?

Subject: Osprey distribution (Vic.)
Mike Carter and Val Ford note the observation of an
Osprey near Shoreham on the Mornington Peninsula.
This will only be the 23rd record for the species in
Victoria (Atlas of Victorian Wildlife data). The only
other observation near Melbourne was from Werribee
Sewage Farm a number of years ago. Most record are
coastal but there is one from Barmah Forest on the
Murray near Echuca in the 1990s.
I encourage Val to forward full details for inclusion
in the Atlas.
