Well known Sunshine Coast birder Greg Roberts has recently returned from an enviable round-Australia-birding-trip and has quickly moved to organise a Pelagic Birding trip from Mooloolaba on Saturday December 6.
This is an excellent opportunity for local birders to see some new and fascinating species. Expected species over our summer include Wedge-tailed Shearwater, Flesh-footed Shearwater and Tahiti Petrel. Over a few years the Sunshine Coast has wracked up an impressive list of species and it is fair to say you could expect almost anything. The stand out record was the Stejneger's Petrel - a new bird for Australia - which was recorded in November, 2011.
Please contact Greg via email ninderry@westnet.com.au
The cost for the pelagic is $120 per person.
A search on Greg's blog - http://sunshinecoastbirds.blogspot.com.au/ will reveal reports on the Sunshine Coast Pelagics thus far [just type 'Pelagic' into the site's search function].
