Albatross Colony Visit
On September the 1st Lee Stream School went to the Albatross Colony. First we met in the car park. We went in, we split into two groups. One group headed to the Disappearing Gun and the other group went to the observation room to look at the albatross.
From the room where the Disappearing Gun was you could see for miles, way up the coast. We could see two albatrosses near the lighthouse. Up in the observatory room we learnt how the albatross can die and we learnt how the rangers look after them. They wear different coloured bands on their feet which tell us what number they are and how old they are. The colour of the bill of an albatross tells us if they are a baby or an adult. A baby bill is grey and an adult is pink.
