Deceased birds on Saltwater Beach, Beowa National Park in January 2019. Possibly Shearwaters and one other species (Cormorant).
Kicking myself on finding these for not having got the report in earlier.
Also, cannot find the Deceased animal option - thought there used to be one.

the first bird looks to be a short tailed shearwater, and the last probably a wedgie, but I’m not sure about the second one (third image) sorry.
