Hi All, Pete Kyne, these days based in Darwin has asked me to post this to Birding-Aus for him. Early on last Friday evening near Stoke’s Hill Wharf in Darwin Harbour a Short-tailed Shearwater was photographed both on the water and in flight (I and others have seen the shots), subsequently not seen since. Not a species one would normally expect to see in the Top End. The record will be written up and submitted to the journal, ‘Northern Territory Naturalist’. Cheers – Paul W.

One response to “Darwin Shearwater.”
Hi Paul
What a good find. Im in Tassie at the moment so cant check exact dates but we did have a sick Short-tailed Shearwater handed into the Broome Bird Observatory around xmas/new years in 98. The bird died and was sent to the WA museum. Interesting the record you posted about is a similar time of year.
Cheers Adrian
