Giant-petrel? off Ricketts Point SE Melbourne

["michael norris" <>]

Today (Monday) around noon Moira Longden saw a near goose sized dark bird 
about 300 metres off the triangle platform at Ricketts Point hanging around 
a fishing boat.  90 per cent sure it was a Giant-petrel.
A bit earlier I had seen a similar looking bird a long way out, with another 
large bird closer in (immature gannet??)
Almost without interruption the weather continues to be dominated by high 
pressure, with a calm - often flat - sea. This looks as if it will continue 
at least to midday on Wednesday.
