Australian Gannet
Muttonbirds in the mist! A typical sighting of shearwaters. I found it hard to identify these - Short-tailed and Wedge-tailed being the most likely possibilities. Perhaps both were present!
This last one at least must be a Wedgie!
A distant adult Pomarine Jaeger off Long Reef, Sydney
And a closer Parasitic
Hang on - something wrong here...
That's better!
No camera tricks here - just tricks! I don't know much about aerodynamics but I wonder how the birds stayed airborne!

There are thousands of Short-tailed Shearwaters around the past couple of months of the eastern coast. Nice Jaeger images, I wish I was there when it turned up.
Hi Mark
Some of the birds looked to way have way to much 'tail' for Short-tailed - which is why I wondered if they could be Wedge-tailed. Actually the tern roost and Parasitic Jaeger were at Norah Head.
Cheers
