I wasn’t very with it this morning. The trip went out on Sunday 20th May! Not the 21st or 22nd! Also of interest on the trip was a clear hybrid albatross which appears incredibly similar to a birds seen of Port Fairy in 2008. http://www.pbase.com/wildlifeimages/port_fairy_albatross It appears it was either a Black-browed x Grey-headed or a Black-browed x Buller’s. I think Dan Mantle will be circulating a few photos as I think such hybrids are quite unusual.
