Seabirds blown ashore at Newcastle NSW

["inger vandyke" <>]

Hi Alan et al,

I believe there was a Northern Giant Petrel found in the Newcastle Knights stadium, a Black-browed Albatross somewhere about 10km inland and an Australasian Gannet in town.

A Prion also ended up in Sydney but it later died.

I don't know who coordinated the rescue of these birds locally.  I do know they somehow made it to Taronga.

The fate of all of them except the Giant Petrel (which I think was released yesterday) is not known.

Cheers,

Inger
