My first sightings of either species in the Terricks. Though Red-browed Finches occur along the Murray River near Cohuna, and Spiny-cheeked Honeyeaters on similar granite outcrops in the Wedderburn area.

White-chinned Petrel
Pt Addis
2 White-chinned Petrel seen just offshore from Pt Addis moving along coast in south-west direction. Pale bill and white chin patch seen clearly in scope. Also 100's of Fluttering Shearwater, a few White-capped Albatross and a possible White-faced Storm-Petrel with one of the White-chinned Petrel - by comparison a tiny grey & white seabird; not seen well enough for certain ID.

Not seen in Ascot Vale around my place (and at the Zoo), where they used to be very common, for several years - but they still seem to be hanging on.
