Hi,
One or two observers are needed to go aboard a ship
operating in the Otway basin over Xmas, New Year and a little time (perhaps two
weeks) thereafter. Sorry to clutter birding-aus with this request but I figure
it will be of considerable interest to some.
The work will be in the continental slope region.
It will concentrate on cetaceans but I am thinking that the seabirds are likely
to be pretty interesting for anyone on this forum as well - perhaps a good
chance of getting Light Mantled Sooty Albatross on your list!
A knowledge of identifying Blue Whales and other
cetaceans will be particularly useful.
If you are interested yourself or know anyone else
who may be interested, please contact me immediately on 03 9762 2616.
Remuneration will be in the order of about $300 / day.
Cheers,
Simon.
