Oh how I love these birds of many colours

July 20, 2022

A hot summer’s day. The sky a blazing blue. The tang of saltwater wafting on a slight breeze. A short distance away there are steep crumbling cliffs that overlook an azure sea lapping at golden sands of the North Norfolk coast.

'Whales' in Wales. A glorious evening at Point Lynas lighthouse the other week. This was the start of our weeks holiday in Anglesey. A week that would be filled with dolphins, rock pooling and bird watching. Whats in a name? Writing about an incredible encounter with two southern right whales just off of Stanley in The Falklands with @orca_web and @hxexpeditions, got me thinking about why these whales are called right whales and what I would rename them if I had the chance... A day exploring Stanley in the Falklands. And what a glorious day! A new blog about my adventures in the Southern Ocean with @orca_web and @hxexpeditions. This time its the wonderful wildlife on and around Carcass Island, The Falklands... whales, LBJs and a super intelligent bird of prey. A weekend camping and bird ringing. Lots of young birds around in moult so looking rather scruffy! A weekend celebrating my oldests 11th birthday with family in Cornwall. Happy World Whale and Dolphin Day. Reflecting on the incredible encounters I had this March when down in the Southern Ocean with @orca_web and @hxexpeditions Imperial or Blue-eyed Shag. Such striking birds. These were nesting amongst the Black-browed Albatross on New Island, The Falklands
