Albatrosses

Albatrosses
The main image and the first in the notes are of a Grey-backed Shy Albatross. The next note shows that one and a somewhat larger (but still immature) Wandering Albatross - also seen in the final note. These should be enough to satisfy most Ancient Mariners. :) I should note that these images tested the Lumix and its 430mm (equivalent) zoom to the limit, particularly as I have still needed to crop somewhat.

When i was Home in 2011 I went to Watchet .... Coleridge was born just 2 miles from there and the statue of the Ancient Mariner on the quay is beautiful

Amazing to see them in flight. We visited the Albatross colony on the Otago peninsula which was extraordinary. Such wonderful birds.
