Observation details
Brown seabird with black beak, white forehead & eye ring. Known bird flying low to the surface of the water around the breakwall at blacksmiths. I observed this bird for about 10 mins, it then flew off out to sea. The bird came back about 30 mins later showing the same behavior but this time it landed on the break wall where I was able to get very close & photograph it well. I became concerned with how close I could get so called WIRES. They instructed me to try & pick it up & if I could to take it to animal rescue centre. I was able to pick it up without it even flinching so I took it to AREC in Broadmeadow where it is now being cared for.
