A group of Birders travelling to Ashmore Reef observed seven groups of ‘Audubon’s’ type shearwaters, noting the first group about 100 nautical miles west of Darwin. There is an account of their observations together with photos at http://bird-o.com/2010/10/22/is-arabian-shearwater-a-new-wintering-seabird-for-australia/ . If accepted, these may be the first 'official' sightings of Arabian Shearwaters in Australian waters, so I would be interested in comments from birders who are familiar with this species.
