(Possible) Brown Booby
Mangles Bay, beach in front of Yacht club yard in Point Peron Rd, Rockingham, Western Australia
My partner and I are experienced long distance sailors and having sailed across northern waters and lived in on a boat in NT - we know what a Brown Booby looks like. Three birds were sighted today, after the storm subsided, feeding hungrily, quite close to the beach near the yacht club yard. Unfortunately a camera was not at hand to take a photo. Birds were seen by other people at the YC too. This would appear to be well outside their normal range, so probably an important sighting. [Mod note: please note this report needs verification.]
