Taken the other week down at Waratah Bay Vic, this is a male in non breeding plumage but he still is quite striking as you can see the brilliant blue on his tale. I am off to Tasmania tonight on the ferry to photograph (hopefully) Albatrosses and Petrels on a 3 day charter out of St Helens on the East Coast of Tassie and will put up some photo.s when I am back Regard's Geoff
