Hi all
Following the success of pelagic birding trips off the east coast of
Tasmania over the past two years, I have decided to continue to run
trips from St Helens if there is continued interest. I will be running
trips during May and July 2008 for up to 16 persons however, if anyone
would prefer to gather a group of observers at any other time I will be
pleased to organize a sea trip to the continental shelf including the
local hot spots based around your preferred itinerary.
We have a choice of boats available, however my preferred charter vessel
for pelagic birding is the larger sea going 60' Aluminium Starboat,
Nifty II, used successfully in 2006 (Westland Petrel) This vessel has
excellent all round viewing areas and is a very substantial ocean going
boat.
Seabirds along the east coast of Tasmania tend to congregate in
different areas depending on the concentrations of available food, not
only prevailing weather etc. Because my work causes me to traverse these
seas frequently, I can usually target the hot spots depending which
species are sought.
Itinerary options include;
1. Sea voyage only. (Minimum 8 passengers)
2. Sea voyage, Accommodation and meals.
3 Two days during a week option (to pick the best sea conditions
over a week).
Berley is supplied. Please contact me for further details if you are
interested.
