denizen of the southern oceans
As we approach South Georgia in the South Atlantic, we continue to see both species of Giant Petrel. This is the Northern Giant Petrel, recognised by the reddish tip to the beak. Adults are also lighter than the Southern GP.
Birds in flight are a challenge on a rocking ship in windy conditions but it can be done. I sure could use IS on that 400/5.6 lens!
Not much done other than a minor crop, NR in the BG and sharpen. Comments welcome!
