Hi,
I'm planning to head down to Cape Schank over the weekend with an extremely
large and powerful pair of binoculars!! (see
http://www.ecology-solutions.com.au/coral_sea/38_150.jpg). If anyone wants to
join me, they are welcome - I haven't decided which day I will go yet. In years
past we've not had too much trouble finding Blues from this location in March.
I have seen them there twice.
Regards,
Simon.> To: > From: >
