Odd seabird sightings - Turramurra, N Sydney 28 Jan 2013

["Wilsons" <>]

Hi all
with the weather caused by ex-cyclone Oswald, there have been several 
sightings of unusual seabirds from further north, but today at Turramurra 
(northern Sydney - about 18kms in a straight line to the nearest open sea) I 
have had  Silver Gull go over and then a much bigger gull-shaped bird 
(Jaeger, Kelp Gull)?  Both about 9:30am.  (Noisy Miners seriously not happy 
and making the call that normally means something they are not familiar with 
is about - very different to the normal predator alarm call.)
No Frigatebirds yet - now that would be a novelty for the house list.
Not sure what it's like down on the coast here in Sydney for a seawatch 
(apart from visibility would be appalling if it's anything like here at 
home).
Cheers
Tom Wilson
