Landing on Tresco

Well here we are landing on Tresco in the isles of Scilly from one the ship's zodiacs. A lovely place and I can remember the American birders going nuts over a blackbird. To us it seems so normal but to them it was a most beautiful jet black species with a bright orange bill. Almost tropical, in fact just like Tresco.

Have great day now

Midnight Sun

Good morning, in more ways that one! This picture of the Midnight Sun was taken at 1.30 a.m. about 50 miles north of Tromso off the Norwegian coast. I really want to see the Northern Lights some time too. Have a great day now whevere you are.

Macaroni Penguins

I love this shot not just because of the two Macaroni penguins but also because the sleeping chinstrap seems to be smiling! The chinstrap chick with its back to us is also well on the way to getting its adult plumage. Have a great day now.
