Galley Head Birding

<%PhotoInfo%>

July 4, 2009 - sat'day seawatch

The first hour was the best this morning (not that I made it!), with 44 cory's shearwater, 1 great shearwater, 1 sooty shearwater, 1 bonxie, 1 arctic skua and 1 adult sabine's gull. Things had slowed down by the time I arrived, but still managed c. 10 cory's shearwaters, 1 great shearwater (102), and a 'commic' tern that slipped through, nearly unseen - one that got away for the year, but hopefully only temporarily.
