Hi folks
I had lots of fun at the BA members day in Tassie and a day or so either
side - saw all the Tassie endemic birds - nearly all on Bruny Island, including
crippling views of Forty-spotted Pardalotes at Tonia Cochrane's Inala
property. First visit to Tassie for nearly 20 years, so the 40spot was
one of a few "Swarovski ticks" for my weekend (ie. birds seen PROPERLY at
long last, after previous inferior views through inferior optics).
I'm intrigued to hear how the pelagic trips went - the much feared weather
didn't really eventuate on Sunday. We saw large numbers of gannets and dolphins
feeding off The Neck on Bruny, and the sea looked pretty flat.
