Hi Tweeters,

Our Aussie birdo friends from N. Queensland just sent a photographic
diary of their recent voyage to Antarctica from Cape Town. They joined
a birding group from the U.K to take a look at some of the pelagic
birds on the way to Antarctica from aboard a Russian icebreaker the
Agulhas. If you are interested you can access the diary at the
following URL:

Be forewarned that It is a 1.4 MB download which took me about 4
minutes on my IMac with a 56K modem.

What a birding trip of a lifetime!
