A couple of recent birds

Nice shots Mark. Most likely 2 individuals rather than a pair - these autumn birds are normally storm-driven being a largely pelagic species (apart from...

Great set of fabulous birds. I hadn't appreciated that the name Serendib pre-dates both Ceylon and Sri Lanka. I'll always remember my visit in 1994...

Managed to get out for a few hours over the last week or so between getting chores done and packing for my annual visit to my sister just outside Ottawa...
