| Sat 17 | | Giant Petrels 20+
Narawntapu national park—Griffiths Point |
| 20+ Giant Petrels of both species seen loafing offshore, with occasional birds flying in close to shore. A Sperm Whale carcass has brought them in. Checking eBird records suggests 30+ birds in total have been in the area. Park at very end of road, walk straight out toward rocks. Carcass is immediately at your left. GPs will be off the end of the point or about that distance from the beach, if not flying by. eBird checklist |
