Another bit of news. Nick Hayward called me the other day to say he'd seen lots
of GSs from a tall ship. His and further comments from Neil Cheshire are with
the article on Bird-O
http://bird-o.com/2011/04/03/the-great-shearwater-invasion/.
Let's keep fingers crossed the weather is good for other trips planned for next
week.
Regards,
Simon.

> Subject: [Birding-Aus] Great Shearwater seen off Sydney
>
> This is just a brief note to record that a Great Shearwater was seen from
> the Halicat during today's Sydney pelagic trip. The bird appeared at 12.45pm
> about 28NM ESE of Sydney Heads (S33deg 59.978' E151deg 44.904') and settled
> close the boat feeding on our berley at distances down to about 2 metres -
> it remained close to the boat for more than 30 minutes.
> Other notable sightings were a South Polar Skua, White-tailed Tropicbird and
> a possible Soft-plumaged Petrel (awaiting examination of photographs).
> Frustrating distant views of what were thought to be White-headed Petrel and
> Buller's Shearwater all added to a remarkable day on the water.
> A trip report will be posted in a couple of days.
> Cheers
