It is surprising but true I think, that Kelp Gulls are not frequently seen
on the coast in SW Victoria. Surprising because there is a thriving breeding
colony on Lady Julia Percy Island (LJPI) just some 20 km west of Port Fairy.
10 to 26+ are regularly seen on the Port Fairy pelagics which call there on
their return legs. Why LJPI? Because there is a huge Seal colony there as
there is at Seal Rocks off Phillip Island, the only other regular Kelp Gull
breeding site in Victoria.
