Hi All

The weather around Airlie has been wild to say the least. I'm at Conway and have had 650mm in a bit over 24h plus 40kn winds. Today I saw 14 frigate birds which appeared to be a mixture of lesser and greater. Hard to make out in appalling conditions. 2 Noddies were seen but unidentifiable due to rain stinging my eyes and wet bins. Last week a Juv Bridled Tern was dead in the car park at work and on the way home yesterday a crested tern was sitting on Conway road but flew off when I stopped so was OK. As Cape Conway is quite large the frigate birds cannot escape the massive cove of conway beach so have been back and forth all day. I will scour the beach tomorrow for any other interesting blow-ins or injured seabirds.

Cheers
Dan Blunt
