Short-tailed Shearwater wrecks
By Birding-Aus, on November 17th, 2013
Continuing on the recent reports/discussion of Short-tailed Shearwater wrecks, Steve Elson and Harry Louw have reported 2,500 dead and dying birds along the coast near Gordon Inlet on the south coast of WA. STS are much less common in WA than on the east coast, though probably a little under-reported along the south coast. Still, I suspect this would be a fairly exceptional wreck for the south coast John =============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) to: birding-aus-request@vicnet.net.au http://birding-aus.org ===============================
Hi John, I’d really appreciate any further news, theories or conclusions about the STS wrecks from our networks or associated authorities. It is sad. Some right it off as nature doing its thing, but even so, I’d like to know more about things like frequency, location, species, numbers, especially if Birds Australia are involved through its charter…it seems strange to me, but then again, it might be a regular, strange thing, bit like whales stranding…where we know it happens, but no one really knows why.. Thanks for the note.
