Fluttering Shearwater & Westland Petrel - Ballina

Post by SAM »

On Sunday 30/12, I picked up an exhausted Fluttering Shearwater off South Ballina beach & took it to Ballina Seabird Rescue.
I was also told that a Westland Petrel had been picked up off the beach at Flat Rock, East Ballina & taken to the Seabird Rescue on 18/12, but unfortunately it died a few days later.

Also a few more for Summer Beyond:
Striated Heron 24/12/12 Little Fishery Creek, Ballina
Chestnut Teal 1/1/13 Teven Rd swamp, West Ballina
Rock Dove 25/12/12 Lismore (town centre)
Channel-billed Cuckoo 25/12/12 Kyogle Rd, between Lismore & Kyogle

Cheers, Steve
Ballina
