SEAL BRAIN OMLETTE This was not fortunately on our menu.
SHEATHBILLs were more numerous at Port Lockroy than anywhere else we had been.
whilst awaiting a zodiac taxi this SOUTHERN GIANT PETREL suddenly appeared overhead.
This is a pale morph, almost white in this instance-only the southern appears in this form.
AKA "WHITE NELLIE"
Our party then landed at Jougla point and went on a short hike in snow shoes,I was hoping for the old style tennis rackets,but no they were modern metal things.

WEDDEL SEAL
WILSONS STORM PETRELS were quite numerous here.
GENTOO heading straight for a sleepy weddel seal.
Our turn for the zodiac cruise now and close encounters of the whale kind.
HUMPBACK with CAPE PETREL looking for a snack.
The smell of the barbie made the humpbacks hungry too and a group of three were feeding near the ship in the evening light.
These were taken with my little Lumix camera.
very pretty those weddel seal Phil, a lovely set of shots.
ReplyDeleteThose seal shots are superb Phil.
