Does anyone know someone at CSIRO Wildlife who would be interested in news
of one of their ringed Albatrosses?
Whilst on a short holiday, my wife and I found a dead Albatross on Pea Soup
Beach in Port Fairy (VIC) this morning (Jan 27th). We spoke to a local, who
said it wasn't there yesterday.
The bird had a metal CSIRO ring on its left leg, serial number 280-07392.
Although we don't know which species it was (obviously the serial number
will reveal this) we did note that it had a yellow bill and wingspan of
approx 2m. No obvious signs of the cause of death, and no injuries from
fishing lines etc.
Regards,
Martin and Karen Symes
Melbourne
