From 26 to 28 November 1980, additional visits were made to six islands off the
southern and western coasts of Wilsons Promontory. The islands visited were Wattle
and Kanowna on 26 November, Shellback and Norman on 27 November, and McHugh and
Dannevig on 28 November. We were accompanied by (Mrs) L. F. Lane on all visits and
by J. W. Hardy for the first two days only.
Primarily, the purpose of the visits was to endeavour to obtain further information on
the breeding of Fairy Prions and Common Diving-Petrels. The limited time spent on
the islands was directed mainly towards searching for these birds in habitats which
appeared suitable. No specific or systematic searching was made for other species.
