Bird(s) of the Week
A windy day makes ocean’s shore birding unpleasant, but I was lucky to get my first Brown Skua (Stercorarius antarcticus) after a few minutes at Bunker Bay. That does not mean that I did not spent earlier about an hour in the same conditions on the whale watch platform near Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse without success.

Where to next? Young Pacific Gull can be RBA in so many places!
