Open Ocean birding

We headed out in a ski boat on a late July morning off the Umhlanga coast to try and catch some Pelagics following the end of the sardine run. The ocean was like glass and these 2 birds were remarkably relaxed with the boat providing us with some great photo opportunities.

























This Sub Antarctic Skua was following our boat hoping for some fish while the Indian Yellow Nosed Albatross made an appearance right at the end of the boat trip and took a rest right next to us!
