Gooday Birders
Visited Nobbies Breakwater for an hour or so today (20.3.06)
at about lunchtime. Overcast, fresh breeze and warm.
Saw the following birds -
Australian Gannet, immature, several of
Large Black Cormorant
Little Black Cormorant
Pelican
Silver Gull
Darter
Crested Tern
Wedge-tailed Shearwater, moving south in dribs and
drabs
Little Penguin
Pomarine Jaeger, not absolutely sure, about 4 approximately, 300-400m
to the north east off the end of the breakwater, harassing the shearwaters.
While I could see a distinct darker cap on the crown of their heads I could not
detect the extended tail feathers. Also appeared to have lighter patches on the
upper wings and a lighter rump/tail area? They were bigger and stockier than
the shearwaters.
This is my first bird observation list onto the
birding-aus site, so please bear with me if I muck it
up.
