I would just like to say Merry Christmas to one and all at Birding-Aus and hope that you all have a great day.
I am just about to carve up the meat for Christmas Lunch and our children will soon be arriving to eat and drink us out of house and home. Forgive me for not posting any photos for the last few months but a few of you will know that I have been down at Heard Island and then across the Australian Bight. The highlight of the Heard Island trip was 2 Amsterdam Albatross and a genuine blizzard in the lee of Heard Island.
And the other thing it is a very long way to get there and even then there is always a good chance that you will not get ashore as I only had 6 hours on the Island and 2 hours cruising in a zodiac. Is it worth it? Heard Island is truly a unique destination and some of the birds are found nowhere else in Australian Waters and the Geography of the place is unbelievable so for me it was a once in a lifetime trip and my fellow passengers were and absolute delight to be with. When I finally returned home I first had to convince the dog that I live here and because I have been photographing so many birds in different countries I have decided to drop my country lists and just have world bird families so I hope that this will be OK with most of you. I will start posting some new photos after Christmas and would like to thank everyone for the continued support of my Websites.
Kindest Regards
