Our visit to the Falkland Islands coincided with the nesting season of the Black-browed Albatross, which nest in large numbers on the Falklands.
After photographing the Southern Rockhopper Penguins at North Harbour, I walked further around the cliffs to see the Black-browed Albatrosses using the thermals, as they kept flying alongside the cliffs and over the sea. On the way, there were also nesting birds and some pair bonding going on.

Brakes on!!
When it came to the flying birds, the scene was just spectacular, so much so, that after spending 10 minutes or so photographing them, I put the camera away and just enjoyed watching them soar away through the binoculars. It ended up being one of the highlights of the whole trip!!

I took many photos and it was very difficult choosing them for the blog.
