Hi All,
        A fishing trip out from West beach and Glenelg yesterday yielded
several sightings of Arctic Jaegers. They were between 2 and 5 km offshore,
and usually in pairs. Birds seen close enough for identification showed
either a brown band separating a white throat from a white underside, or an
all white underside, or were all brown. Short protruding central
tail-feathers easily seen. At least 5 sightings of pairs between 9am and
3pm.
