Fw: Magellanic Penguin NSW - Birdline sighting 12824

Magellanic Penguin NSW - Birdline sighting 12824Hi Tim and others,
This record looks very convincing. Description is quite detailed and appears 
entirely consistent with Magellanic Penguin. The bird was seen down to 
distances of just 10 m!

The only two confirmed records in the western Pacific are one at Phillip Island 
Victoria and one at Hawkes Bay, North Island, NZ and these were also both in 
March (29th March 1976 and 12 March 1972 respectively).
