G'day everyone,
I'm in Alice Springs, but I just got off the phone with Mum and Dad who
went down to check on the congregation of seabirds off Hampton Beach,
reported on Birdline Vic by Sean Dooley a couple of days back.
The olds aren't exactly hardcore birders but they were very impressed by
the numbers of gannets and terns (dad's words - there are thousands, not
hundreds). They also mentioned a few larger birds around that dad initially
thought might have been Pacific Gulls, but on closer inspection he decided
they weren't this species and relegated them to the too hard basket. Sounds
interesting though - jaegers perhaps?
Anyway, just thought it might be of interest to anyone in the
neighbourhood. Sounds like it might be worth a look.
Cheers,
Chris Watson
