Hello, I’m an American birder, and I’m planning an Aussie birding trip, starting in a couple of weeks. I’d like to spend a couple of hours while I’m in Sydney on a seawatch from land. I’ve never seen an albatross of any kind, and just about any other seabird would be a lifer for me as well, other than gannet or Silver Gull. I see Mistral Point mentioned, and I think I could get there by bus from my hotel near Hyde Park. I will have my scope with me, but I could really use some help in identifying any birds I might see. I could be available on Thursday, 26 September; Friday, 27 September; or Saturday, 28 September. Is anyone available and interested in meeting me for an hour or two of sea watching on one of those days? Even if you aren’t available to meet me, any advice would be welcomed. Thanks very much.
