Dear Birders, Just a very brief update to say we had an excellent week on CI last week, as I was straight back to work on returning I haven’t had time to put any details together yet. For those twitchers interested in CI vagrants we found a Chinese Pond Heron (Sum. plumage) and some ‘Black-winged’ Stilts (2) plus Whiskered Terns (2-3), Lesser Frigates 2 only definite. The regular seabirds were stunning as expected, Abbots Boobies particularly impressive over Margaret’s Lookout. If anyone wants any specific details of best spots for the Frigates, Boobies etc from a photographers perspective please contact me directly . A week wasn’t long enough if photography is your main objective especially as the two large frigates still confuse me despite seeing 1000’s! Also if you want to see the Hawk owl prepare for a hard time- we only heard two distantly. Crabs were something else……..amazing creatures.
