Date: Tuesday, April 12, 2016
Location: Approximately 2 kms out to sea (Boat) off Seaford Trig Point.
Australasian Gannet (Morus serrator) (1) Flying purposefully south about 20
metres high. These birds are only an irregular sighting while fishing the
Seaford area and seldom in any numbers over the many years I've observed them
here.

Date: Sunday, April 17, 2016
Location: Port Stanvac jetty reef.
Sooty Oystercatcher (Haematopus fuliginosus) (1) Interesting to see a small
group of these birds sitting on the small reef which runs parallel to the beach
from the base section of the now defunct port Stanvac jetty running
south/north. I have observed Sooty oyster-catchers on a number of occasions on
Port Noarlunga reef on low tides but this sighting was a first for me.
