The concretions holding fossil skulls is so cool - like it's your birthday and you get a surprise present when you open the nodule.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of short-tailed shearwaters descend on Victoria's coastline to breed following a mammoth journey which takes two months to complete.

The birds spend the northern summer around Alaska, before travelling 15,000 kilometres to Australia where they arrive with precision.

For the past 30 years, the south-west Victorian population has arrived at Griffiths Island, near Port Fairy, a day either side of September 22.

But this year, the date came and went without the usual flurry of activity.

I'm assuming that if they've made it as far as Phillip Island they'll be reaching Port Fairy as well; after 15,000 Km across the Pacific Ocean a few hundred kilometres is neither here nor there (PI is east of N?yfb and PF is west)

Key points:
Fewer than 100 of the usual 40,000 mutton birds have arrived at Victoria's Griffiths Island
The Environment Department says it's unlikely the birds will appear this year, given they're now one month late
But a university professor says the birds are remarkably resilient and there's no reason to panic yet

“In our new paper, we show that for migratory songbirds only 8% of conservation plans acknowledge sexual segregation exists and only 3% actually developed conservation strategies for both males and females,” said lead author of the study, avian ecologist Ruth Bennett.
