Photo of an adult Black-browed Albatross on a nest, partly covering a quite large fluffy grey chick who has a ridiculously big beak for its size.
A is for Albatross - of the black-browed variety, caring for a little one who is maybe not quite so beautiful....yet

Close up photo of a White-rumped Sandpiper. A small wader with a streaked brown back and wings and pale streaked belly giving it excellent camouflage against the muddled seaweed and light sand of a beach where it is foraging.

close up photo of the head of a Black-browed Albatross. A truly beautiful bird with a head that is pure white except for round the eyes where a black eye stripe looks like smokey eyeshadow. The huge beak is a peachy orange merging into a delicate pink at the end just above the slight hook. The background is the out of focus green of foliage hanging over a slate cliff side

Photo of 2 White-tufted Grebe. One is raised up, trying to get on top of the second, beak open, wing spread in an aggressive manner, pushing his rival under the water. White tufted grebe are predominantly black, with brown wing feathers and a beautiful triangular white cheek flare streaked with black stretching back from a stunning red eye The Camera settings were challenging in the high contrast sunlight, I set a bigger f number for a greater depth of field as the action was moving so fast, but should have upped the ISO to improve the shutter speed - most of the photos had movement blur 🙄🙄😂
CONFLICT!

Photo of 4 White-tufted Grebe on a lake in the Falkland Islands. The photo shows one bird running across the water, away from the camera, so fast it's raised up on the water, chasing an opponent, slightly in the foreground is another bird who had been joining in with the fight while in the distance a 4th bird, probably a female looks on. There was a keen gusting wind that had set up tiny waves constantly rippling over the surface of the lake.

There are 2 birds in this photo! A White Tufted Grebe has chased across the surface of a lake and thrown itself onto the top of a rival forcing it underwater. All that can be seen is a trail of splashes and a bundle of feathers which is the back and rear end of the aggressor, its orange legs just showing through the turbulent water.

CONFLICT! #FalklandIslands #BirdsSeenIn2026 We sat and watched a group of 9 White-tufted Grebe, the females floated around the periphery while the males went hammer and tongs at each other seemingly trying to drown their opponents.

I was thinking about how I'm excited, but not THAT excited by this weeks space mission, surely I should be hanging on every second? But then this is not my first Moon rodeo, I have vivid memories when I was 10yrs old of the excitement of the first moon landing, staying awake for as long as I could overnight hiding under the covers so my parents couldn't hear my radio (of course they knew what I was doing but were happy to indulge the added excitement of the secrecy) and smuggling the radio into school, a select group of nerdy kids all now sitting at the back of the class each with a radio covered by a jumper pinned to our ears (of course our teacher knew what we were doing but was happy to indulge the independent enthusiasm of discovery - she probably had a radio in her desk 😄) No longer a school girl I don't think we should be attempting to colonise outer space, we should be putting our efforts into keeping the amazing planet we already have habitable for all nature, but the science, resource, intelligence and effort that has gone into sending humans into space is still incredible and exciting and the benefits of that all that learning, much now decades old still reaches far into our current lives. Now....back to the live tracker....... Photo of an Imperial Shag - a large Black and white bird with pink feet - landing on what looks like a barren piece of land but is infact an area of last years nests. It is vertically upright - its feet in a flat position for landing and its neck bent with its eyes and beak pointing downwards to spot the exact place

Photograph of a blackish Oystercatcher - this species of oystercatcher is all black / very dark brown except for pink legs, a bright red beak, yellow eye and red eye-ring. This bird, towards the left of the photo, is standing on some rocks at the top of a beach where the tideline meets the vegetation, hidden amongst the rocks on the right and beautifully camouflaged are 2 sleeping, small, fluffy grey chicks
Blackish Oystercatcher #FalklandIslands The #Black&Red and Pink is obvious enough but can you spot the bits of fluff she's guarding?

Portrait photo of a Short-eared Owl It is standing on an out of focus post with a similarly very out of focus blue sky, white building and brown landscape behind it. The Owl is facing the camera and the low rays of the late evening sun are illuminating its streaked feathers in a warm orange glow and highlighting its piercing yellow eyes Canon R5 500mm f/7.1 1:1000s ISO800
The late low light caught the Short-eared Owl against the blue sky to make a stunning sight. They breed on some of the smaller #FalklandIslands but we only ever saw one.
