Wedge-tailed Shearwater

Post by Bill Jolly »

Although this bird is mentioned in the 2013 Challenge Forum, I am also posting it here as a summer within sighting. (Perhaps other windblown seabirds noted under the Challenge during January would also merit a separate entry here).

Wedge-tailed Shearwater low over the house and garden at Abberton on Monday 28 January. Bill Jolly, Michael Atzeni, Michael Wood.

Another probable individual seen by Michael Atzeni near Postman's Ridge later the same day.

At least 3 more dead or injured individuals picked up around the area over the last few days, including one near Clifford Gardens car-park.
