"It is so special to have this on our doorstep" - salthouseretreat Short-tailed shearwaters migrate to Phillip Island each September to raise their chicks. In early April, the adult seabirds fly south to feed in the Southern Ocean near Antarctica, then begin the journey back to the Northern Hemisphere, leaving behind their chicks to grow ‘adult’ feathers and begin their own migration as the adults pass by Australia at the end of April and start of May. Head to Cape Woolamai’s main car park or most Southern coastal beaches of Phillip Island to witness the spectacle of over a million short-tailed shearwaters returning to their colony en masse at sunset! 🌅 #phillipisland #visitvictoria #visitmelbourne #seeaustralia #everybitdifferent
