Re. Greg Roberts observations of Short-tailed Shearwaters in Antarctica
Short-tailed Shearwaters forage a surprisingly long way to the west in 
Antarctic waters. Approaching from the west I encountered the first 
Short-tailed Shearwaters at 60S 82E on 15th March 2007. This longitude is about 
the 'centreline' of the Indian Ocean and bisects Sri Lanka. I saw several 
hundreds each day until 20th March, 64S 105E before heading north. There were a 
few Sooty Shearwaters in the same area and many icebergs.
