SOSSA Pelagic - 28th March 2009 - Red-Footed Booby

[B Whylie <>]

Thanks for the replies. It would seem that there have been over 1/2 
dozen sightings of Red-footed Boobies in NSW, the last being in 2008.
The Booby just 'appeared' at the boat, no-one saw it approaching. It was 
called then flew off to the north, into the sun, of course. A few 
minutes later, it was back and, most obligingly, flew close to the water 
along the southern side of the boat, at relatively close range.
I have posted some photo's at

Thanks again
