Great Shearwater
11 miles off Swansea Heads, New South Wales
Single Great Shearwater at about 0740 this morning, 11 miles east of Swansea. The bird was a little shy of the boat and was harrassed by Fleshy-foots until it eventually decided to hover off (south). Also present were about 80 Wilson's Storm-petrels and similar numbers of Wedge-tailed / Fleshy-foot Shearwaters, 2 Black-browed (one Campbell), a Yellow-nosed Albatross and a few Pomarine Jaeger.
