Planned Pelagic Seabird Trips
The next Hillarys pelagic seabird trip is on Sunday 12th September. I keep an email list of people to be notified, plus the details are posted to the birding-aus email list. There is the possibility of a trip in February 2011.
The trip leaves at 7am from near AQWA at Hillarys Boat Harbour and returns by about 3:30pm. There is a limit of 27 people. Booking is essential. The cost is expected to be $90 (more if fewer than 26 people book) and is payable on the day. Book by emailing Alan Collins (alaninoz@iinet.net.au).
Alan Collins also tries to organise two pelagic trips each year from Albany. The tentative plan is for a weekend in May 2011. The cost is expected to be about $150 per person depending on numbers and which boat is used. The Albany pelagics have had outstanding species including Black-bellied Storm-Petrel, Wandering Albatross, Sooty Albatross, Grey-headed Albatross, Grey Petrel, Kerguelen Petrel, White-headed Petrel, Sooty Shearwater and Arctic Tern So hopes are very high for more successful trips. Contact Alan Collins alaninoz@iinet.net.au if you are interested in these trips.
