A change comes through

Today (12/2/19) was pretty warm in the early afternoon.  As we left Eden about 1pm the car thermometer read 35^oC.

A couple of hours later I was at Captain Stevensons Point where it felt a good bit cooler and windier.  This was evident in the whitecaps out to sea together with about 12 Gannets fishing inshore (only 1 in the photo).

 There was also a huge - my estimate was 1,000 birds flock of shearwaters (they seemed very dark so possibly Short-tailed or Wedge-tailed Shearwaters but they were about 1km away so I settled for Shearwater sp).

The water in the seaward part of the Inlet was also very rough, leading the Pelicans to hunker down

 The change in the weather is well summarised by readings from the BoM site in Mallacoota.

• A maximum temperature of 32.3^oC at 1300hrs dropping to 18.5^oC by 1600 hrs.
• Maximum wind gust of 69kph at 1530.
