Cory`s Season at the Bridges

 August has seen a steady flow of westerly direction winds, the sea is at its peak temperature.

 The food is flowing our way, followed by thousands of Cory`s Shearwaters which have been consistent for the month so far and other seabirds using the winds, this brings them close to the coast where its possible to see them before they venture back into open ocean on a migratory quest.

Today alone 500 Cory`s per hour and the beauty and excitement of a Fea`s Petrel at 1145.

Great, Sooty and Manx backed up the Shears as did Long tailed, Arctic, Pomarines made up the numbers for the Skuas, still Bonxies remain rare this year
