Have just heard that Cape Gannets are still
present on Lawrence Rocks in Portland Bay, Victoria. Marcel Hoog-Antik
of Parks Victoria and Rob Farnes found two when they visited on 20
December 2003. They were in the same spot where originally found in
the 1990's, surrounded by the huge, increasing, dense colony of Australasian
Gannets. The maximum number seen there a few years ago was nine. Landing on the
islands is forbidden (and dangerous) and unfortunately, it is not possible to
see the Cape's without landing. We have yet to encounter one at sea!
