Hi all,

I've spotted some albatross today off Newcastle and thereabouts, looking
as though they were having a very good time in the massive squid-dicing,
boat-grounding swell: quite a few actually, but no hope of clear
identification due to gale force wind and stinging rain interfering with
my eyesight.
