Seabird watching from a Cruise should be much more comfortable?!

Great find!! Good you tell us any information about the location (especially in relation to Dangan Island), time and heading. I spent most of my day seawatching from Po Toi and visibility was quite good. I have been looking for this species from seawatching all month and wished I could have seen it even at great distance. I wonder if there was any chance it could have been seen from Po Toi.

Booby co-ordinates

Hi Brendan and all,

Thanks to Chris Campion and his GPS device, I can report that it was about 45 kilometers ESE of Po Toi at N 22 degrees 09.87', E 114 degrees 43.97.

A bit far out to be seen from Po Toi....
