there was one Cape Gannet paired with an Australasian Gannet at Wedge Light for
many years, but it has not been seen for 2 or 3 years now.[Margaret Cameron
probably has more exact dates, but she is in PNG at present]. However there are
Cape Gannets breeding on Lawrence Rocks off Portland, don't know how many
because nobody has looked closely enough - I saw and photographed several during
a brief visit in 1993.
