Pedro´s Big New Year

[TonyQ]

Great photos, and I know how difficult it can be on a pelagic!

Well done

[Kitsafari]

excellent haul! has this trip made you a pelagic convert then?

Very cool Pedro, please make sure we can have a pelagic like that again next time. 😁 You really did well, excellent shots.

I like pelagic trip from time to time, this one (as the one Michael came along) was to long for my tasting, 5 hours each way is too much.

 

Anyway, this one was exceptionally prolific, it´s very difficult to have another one as good.

No problem, just say when and I´ll get the birds, easy .

 

By the way, It´s obvious that you reached 1000, let´s see if you break the 1100 mark.

 

I hope you had a great trip and I´m looking forward to see the TR and the birds, of course.

What a great pelagic trip that was! 25 species certainly is a very good number for such a trip and you got a lot of great species and photos!

A vagrant from the Americas and a rarity here, I missed one in 2020 and missed it also in Cape Cod (saw the Greater).

Just catching up here Pedro. Very enviable pelagic trip and worth the long trip too.
