I find it fascinating the different birdlife when sailing, you never see the types of birds from the shore that you see at sea.

Is it just me or do others have birds land on their yachts while sailing?

Last year it was an albatross while exiting Port Stephans at night(didnt even know we got them in oz until it virtually hit me in the head then tried to go downstairs!, had to block the companion way with my legs, before I threw this 'bigger than a turkey' big bird overboard).
Last month it was this bird off Seal Rocks, NSW (at night again), it sat in the cockpit for about 10 minutes before flying off.
