I'm not even going to say which continent I'm on, that'll give the game away.
I'll publish photographs of the culprit in a few days.

Which animal made these?
These animal tracks I photographed in sand adjacent to where our vehicle stopped. Any guess to what made them?

Boys and their toys
An image showing the intrepid photographers, I'm the sleeking looking one in the centre and Smith to the left, and a couple of friends of ours to the right. Doing our best to capture some Eider ducks on film, well the light sensitive sensor actually.
The castle is Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland, England.

Barrier reef anemone fish
Staying on the theme of symbiotic relationships that I mentioned in an earlier post. Here are a couple of more images demonstrating this relationship. This time on the Great Barrier reef off Queensland, Australia.

Nightingale
Nightingale, Whisby, England. Summer 2008
Canon 20D + 300 f2.8 + 1.4 extender.
After a 5 hour familiarisation with this Nightingale [standing out in the open while it sang from all manner of trees and bushes], in late afternoon it suddenly it popped out on an open branch, not 20ft away, and commenced sunbathing.
You win some, you lose some.

Gannet Profile
Gannet. Bempton RSPB. England.
Canon 20D + 300 f2.8. Hand held.
In the breeding season, often in late afternoons when the clifftop footpath is less busy, Gannets land on the grassy cliff tops and tear up greenery to add to their nests.
At 15ft distance, this Gannet could not be missed.

Little Ringed Plover
Little Ringed Plover.
Pentax Spotmatic [film] + 400mm Soligor lens.
On a landfill site, where heavy machinery was missing this nest by 20ft or so, a pair of Little Ringed Plovers carried on as if it was all in a days work.

Eagle Owl
Hypnotic
Canon 40D + 100-400mm.
A sentiment that the average mouse would find insane.
