SEABirds

These are our photographs of gulls, terns, pelicans, cormorants, gannets, and other seabirds we've been lucky enough to see on our travels. We wished we'd started photographing seabirds while we were cruising - missed that opportunity unfortunately.

If you want a copy of any of our photos, let us know. In most cases the originals are of higher quality than these on our website, which are reduced for ease of Internet viewing.
