Great Shearwater near St Helens, Tasmania

[Ian May <>]

g'Day all

Yesterday 06/03/2011 at about 0900 while on the way out to the continental shelf, a Great Shearwater (1) flying south about 5 nautical miles east of 
St Helens Point, Tasmania.   The bird was solitary although there was a band of Short-tailed Shearwaters and two Buller's Albatross also flying south 
nearby.  The distinctive GS passed close to the boat, not reacting to my presence and continued on.  When I returned to the area on way back from the 
Hill, the sea breeze had sprung up and as I was in a dinghy, conditions were unsuitable to search further.  Having another look this morning and will 
report back later.
Regards


Ian
