It’s off to the speedway this morning…….
Maybe some cool pictures of that this afternoon, but as a teaser, here’s an Albatross from Kaikoura in New Zealand.
This was part of our road trip with Kea, Sao and I heading from Northland, New Zealand to Bluff and back…..
What a trip!!
These blokes look soooo serious!

One of the things you notice in Africa is how a huge animal can disappear really quickly behind some grass, a small shrub or tree…..
There are two other Rhino in this shot……

What a stunning presentation of a gorgeous bird!
Your camera work is outstanding, Rob.

This works so well… I don’t think the right hand bird would suffer from being moved a little up in the frame, as it is, it’s quite close to that frame edge… beauty…
To see one of these as you drive along is no mean feat. Sao is not only know for her “eagle” eyes, but also for her Owl spotting ones.
Many times I’m regaled with a “Stop!!!!!!”, “Go back” and behold, there under a branch is a tiny Owl looking all regal and pissed off.
This is no exception.
Now you NEED a big lens to get even close to these babies as they are notoriously shy. This particular model is extremely petite!
What do you think??

Exceptional image!
Is it offensive to call a raptor “cute”?
