Indeed it may have been ship assisted as many vagrants and our regular migrants are. But since boats and ships are a natural part of the modern world and we are never going to know whether or not any migrant we see took advantage of a rest on a ship, oil-rig, buoy, or human flotsam or jetsam all are countable. If you have not seen birds sitting on the like you haven't been to sea enough. Would the 'some' you refer to have us not count birds sitting on a power-line, a sewage treatment pond or a reservoir? So there is no such disqualification. A mischievous rather than wicked thought, I suggest. Mike Carter 30 Canadian Bay Road Mt Eliza VIC 3930 Ph: (03) 9787 7136 Email: |
