I'm just back from a weekend with two pelagic trips - and I am in need of an early night!
Both trip went out from Eaglehawk Neck in Tasmania, and they were rather contrasting! The Saturday trip was more or less as rough as I could cope with, but with lots of birds. Sunday was far less windy and the birding was a little less active too. On the Saturday I gave up trying to take pictures and just watched!
So, this is a collection of pictures from both days. The birds are identified in the captions below them.

I have to say, you can't really see how rough it was for some of these pictures - but I have signed up for two more! I must be crazy!

What wingspans! The last pair are in perfect aerial alignment.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I have been on just one pelagic trip and it was wonderful but two in a row WOW! Photos are brilliant especially the last tow birds in sink. Thanks for hosting and I hope you have a lovely week ahead
ReplyDeleteVery productive cruises. The eagle is majestic. The Giant Petrel has a prehistoric look about it.
ReplyDeleteThese are thrilling! Thank you for sharing them all. The sea eagle is first among equals in my eyes
