Andy Jensen, Stuart Pickering, Tom Tarrant and I spent yesterday afternoon sea-watching off Point Lookout (North Stradbroke Island, SEQ) in 20-25 kt S to SEs. This was my first trip there – I’m more of a pelagic boat trip than seawatching from land fan! However, there were lots of birds including 10+ Yelllow-nosed and 1 Black-browed Albatross, 15-20 Prion sps. (3 or 4 in the near surf were all certainly Fairy Prions), 2 Giant Petrel Sps, c 15 Common Noddies and a few Fluttering Shearwaters, large nos. of Aus Gannets, Crested Terns, Silver Gulls etc. Add to that all the Hump-backed Whales and Bottle-nosed Dolphins which were constantly in view – it made for a pleasant Sunday afternoon. SEabird wise – the views are what you would expect from land but I was genuinely impressed with the no. of birds (for SEQ I should add). The signs look good for some winter stuff on the Southport trip on the 17th July.
