Surprise silliness
And so to conclude this year's Surprise blog-a-thon, here's a collection of less-than-serious photos of my island companions (human and avian). A young Red-footed Booby turns the tables.
Since the island suffers little anthropogenic disturbance, the shorebirds can be pretty tame...
Beer hour... the most important hour of the day.
Zippy masquerades as a turtle.
Tick removal, our nightly entertainment on the boat. Every night Sylvain produced a new anti-tick device - the electric shock treatment has to me my favourite.
Close encounter.
Even when 95% submerged you can't escape the boobies!
Surprise Island haute couture.
'Expecto patronum'
By the power of Grayskull!
It's fair to say that not everyone was as into seawatching as me...
Celebrating our return to civilisation.
Glad to see Her Dollyship has made it to New Caledonia!
Well, back to daily grind behind the computer. In case I don't get round to blogging again soon, merry xmas and a bird-filled 2008!
