Like the related boxfish and porcupine fish they tend not to be particularly fast or particularly concerned by divers, but they aren’t showy like angelfish or lion fish in a way that attracts much attention. In fact, puffers are pretty antisocial, and this species is noted as being that and solitary on the Wikipedia page of the species.

But, I did take many photos, and used the book, in spurts during the trip and more closely afterward, to identify three seabird species, two expected (Sooty and Black-vented Shearwaters) and one a surprise.

Africa has more than its fair share of storks, with 8 of the world’s 19 species gracing the continent. Storks are typically viewed as wetland species and whilst some storks are restricted to aquatic habitats, others are not. This is another wetland species that nests in sometimes huge colonies atop trees bordering rivers and lakes.

Come September most of the summer seabird people had left, but there were a small number of seabirds still breeding and so I stayed behind for three years to continue their monitoring and do the migrant landbird surveys, as well as the Great White Shark surveys.

At the very northern end of their breeding range in the Channel Islands, they are strictly a Californian bird as far as the U.S. The scenery is stunning…expansive, rolling grasslands, towering vertical cliffs, cozy canyons filled with oaks, quiet coves where sea lions and cormorants mingle over the kelp forests. is concerned.

Merely a month later, I was camping in the Central Kalahari, at the unfenced site that is now closed for campers because the local lion pride became too curious. One thing is, to allow for species maps to show only data with chosen breeding code so I could depict the rookeries I was searching for this spring.

By “super carnivore” I mean top-of-the-food-chain kinds of critters, like lions or wolf packs, etc., This make sense in a certain way; a species of carnivores that over-concentrated in space would go extinct.

At sea there are also New Zealand Sea Lions and Southern Right Whales. The site serves as a breeding centre for endangered birds and animals, and you can walk around large aviaries and even a night house to see captive kiwi. This is a good place to see the endangered and beautiful Yellowhead and the endemic Yellow-eyed Penguin.
