Birds seen around Marion Island –
Before the Marion Island Trip there was much debate about which areas would count towards the Southern African Bird List. Marion Island is part of the South African EEZ, and therefore birds seen there could be counted as Southern African Birds. I have however decided to keep them on my International List.
Macaroni Penguin Grey-headed Albatross
Light-mantled Albatross
White-bellied Storm Petrel
