This is a cruise like no other, full of scientific lectures, over forty guides spread out on deck, bird-themed parties, and a lights-off mandate to protect birds at night. The marine protected area status was designated in 2013. About half of all breeding Wandering Albatross nest on the Prince Edward Islands. Mouse-free Marion!

My Big Year is such a succession of new experiences that there is simply no time to think of other things. On the other hand, this is good news, because if a lot of money comes in, then the Brazilian government will be motivated to protect the area.” I’ve had so many incredible experiences.

In addition to providing many people with wonderful life experiences, these birding visits have helped increase our understanding of local bird distribution. A fairly recent trip turned up Manx Shearwater and fishing boats got pictures of the young Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross that had also been seen in Belizean and Panamanian waters.

At Sea With the Marine Birds of the Raincoast opens with the unexpected appearance of a Laysan Albatross. We are all suckers for an albatross, at least in the United States. The author, conservation biologist Caroline Fox, is observing the albatross’s shadow to the side of the boat. Do I need to say anything more?

I had my first swim with Inshore Bottlenose Dolphins in Northland’s Bay of Islands back in 2000, and it was a tripy experience. Yes, the same Kaikoura I keep banging on about that is a great place to see albatrosses. So if you are after a unique dolphin experience you could do worse than this New Zealand speciality.

Volunteering provides a very different experience to tourism though. In Hawaii I stood on a beach as albatrosses fledged and Tiger Sharks prowled for the less successful ones. This Laysan Albatross died from ingested plastic. And come the new year I’ll be telling you all about my experiences this time around.

This may be the most awesome pelagic you’ll ever experience… For me it was the publication in 1984 of Peter Harrison’s ground-breaking identification guide to ‘ Seabirds ’ that opened up the off-shore world of pelagic birding right on Cape Town’s door step.
