Albany Pelagic Trips – 23 & 24 January 2016

Hi all, I’ve been a little lax arranging this, so many apologies for that. However, the next weekend of pelagic trips out of Albany is scheduled for the weekend of the 23rd and 24th January. We will run trips on both days as usual, provided there is sufficient demand. We will meet at Emu Point Boat Harbour in Albany at 0530 (earlier start time with the earlier sunrise), and travel to the Albany Canyon at the continental shelf edge. There have not been any previous trips run from Albany in January, so we’ll be breaking new ground again but hopefully should see a range of the common albatross, petrels and shearwaters plus jaegers and terns. The February Albany trips from last year may offer some insight into what we can expect – see http://wabirdingblog.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/albany-pelagic-trip-report-7-february.html and http://wabirdingblog.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/albany-pelagic-trip-report-8-february.html. As always, the trips will operate on a cost-share basis; the cost is anticipated to be $160/person/trip. If you’d like a place on either (or both) trips, please let me know ASAP as we need minimum numbers to run the trip. If you have any queries, please also feel free to ask Cheers, John
