Comments

Things are wrapping for V3 but there seems to be many things to still finish off. Of course, the work is continually interrupted by welcome distractions; dusty dolphins you say, or a Wandering Albatross or there's sun out......etc, etc, etc.
The Wandering Albatross is a favourite, it can have a wing span of up to 3.5 metre and can measure over 1 metre in length. They mate for life and breed every two years. They also can live for over 50 years and their conservation status is vulnerable.
They are majestic to watch in flight and Nuyina has been lucky enough to a few in our vicinity for the last couple day. Truly a treat.
Regards, Chris, Andrew & Nate
