Octopus and sharks attacking birds
Sounds like the sci-fi movies on Foxtel.
Can't wait to get down there tomorrow and chase those big skippy. I will give my new 2lb set-up a run.

We saw similar thing at rotto we were paddeling around on a waveski we saw a shag flappiig around.Went and had a look, he had a good size occy wraped around his feet .We draged him out , the bird flew of the occy went back .so its not as far feched as you might think.
