Curlew Island 18/7/2010


We spent two days at Curlew Island. Curlew island is horseshoe shaped island with a very prominent escarpment. We checked out the cliff for potential climbing and scoped some nice looking routes. In a cave there was a large midden and some stones that were used for cracking open the oysters.



Caught a Striped Sweetlips whilst paddling the "Goat Boat" and was used in a very nice stir fry. The fishing has been slow, what is interesting is that we have seen very few sea birds. Normally there have been plenty of Gannets off shore and Cormorants along the shore line.

great photos, especially now I know how to enlarge them, helps with the failing eyesight! Whats your theory on the missing seabirds?
