Hi all,
After a 3-week overseas business trip, I made it back to Sydney. Yesterday, Rob
Hynson, Marc (last name?), Raja and I joined Graham Buchan and Ray Gobbe to do
some seawatching from Maroubra.
Best bird was a CAPE PETREL flying North (found by Marc)
Several Black-browed Albatrosses and Giant Petrels (most of them looked like
Northern Giant Petrels), one White-fronted Tern.
Cheers,
Nikolas
I had a crazy business trip around the world: 5 days Philadelphia, USA (with
one weekend birding), 2 days Montreal, Canada (no birding), a few hours London,
UK (no birding, but managed to see Pied Wagtail - the British form of White
Wagtail - at the airport), 2 days Munich, Germany (with 2 hours birding), 5
days Vienna, Austria (no birding), 2 days Hong Kong (with some goodies such as
Black-faced Spoonbill, Chinese Egret, Asian Dowitcher and Oriental Pratincole),
2 days Gold Coast, aka Rain Coast (no birding, except for car birding on the
drive from Brisbane to Surfers Paradise). Here is the funny trip list:
