On the Falklands, you can get very close to albatrosses and usually they’re not really scared of you. Especially when you’re alone. The situation may be a bit different when you travel in a big group like the ones of cruises to Antarctica. This beautiful albatross wasn’t afraid of me at all. At the end it can fly, we cannot…

Na Falklandach moลผna podejลฤ bardzo blisko do zwierzฤ t i z reguลy nie majฤ one nic przeciwko, szczegรณlnie gdy podrรณลผujemy sami. Sytuacja moลผe wyglฤ daฤ trochฤ inaczej gdy jesteลmy w duลผej grupie, np. w trakcie rejsu na Antarktydฤ, wtedy sฤ pewne ograniczenia. Ten piฤkny albatros nie baล siฤ mnie, a moลผe zdawaล sobie sprawฤ ลผe jak mu siฤ nie spodobam to on po prostu odleci.
Oh how blessed you are to have been there. These photos are spectacular.
Thank you ๐
Zazdroszczฤ takiego spotkania ๐
Falklandy to wspaniaลe miejsce! Bardzo polecam! ๐
Just amazing! Congratulations!
Thanks ๐ I wish you a trip to the Falklands one day!
You never really hear about people visiting the Falklands, it’s so cool to hear from someone who has!
It sounds a lot like the Galapagos, where the animals aren’t afraid of people. I’m loving your photos, especially the penguins, they’re so funny and inquisitive!
Thanks! It was a wonderful trip!
Actually, in May I’m planning to show the Galapagos Islands ๐
Both places are amazing, but in the Falklands I had more “private meetings” with animals ๐
Ditto on the Galapagos comment – that was the place I have been where the animals weren’t afraid at all (and I saw plenty of birds there). I don’t recall getting so close to an albatross, though! This is cool!
Thanks!
Yes, it’s kind of similar to the Galapagos Islands, but in the Falklands I was mostly alone with e.g. hundreds penguins around me.
Both places are very special, but only “British” penguins were trying to pick my shoelaces ๐
Uwielbiam fotografowaฤ zwierzaki pod kaลผdฤ postaciฤ . Zawsze ลledzฤ psiaki, koty, ptaki i co siฤ da, dlatego rozumiem Twojฤ sลaboลฤ:) Pozdrawiam serdecznie:)

Zwierzaki sฤ zawsze urocze!
Beautifully written. And it truly is a beautiful bird.

Great photograph. I didn’t realise the Albatross looked like that. How big is it?
according to wikipedia: “it is a medium-sized albatross, at 80 to 95 cm (31โ37 in) long with a 200 to 240 cm (79โ94 in) wingspan and an average weight of 2.9 to 4.7 kg (6.4โ10.4 lb)”
A beautiful bird and a beautiful photo.
I’m happy you like it! ๐
The Falklands are amazing!
They are! it’s my paradise ๐
You don’t hear much about the Falkland, which is why I found your post interesting. I like the idea of getting close to an albatross to photograph it.
Thank you!
Indeed, it’s no so popular destination, but extremely beautiful ๐
I’ve never really thought of going here as a destination, but I’m changing my mind. It’s sounds fascinating.
it’s an amazing place! ๐
How many people can say they’ve been to the Falklands?
hihi ๐
I don’t know, but mostly British ๐ I wouldn’t count people from Antarctica cruises, because staying there for 1 day doesn’t count ๐
How sweet! I would love to get up close with one of these cuties. Nice post and good tips on getting close.
Thank you!
I can recommend this place to everyone! ๐
We hope to get to the Falklands next time we are in Argentina.
well, Argentina has its issues with the Falklands… ๐
I saw albatross in NZ on Doubtful Sound! Didn’t get a capture like this one though at all ๐
They’re amazing birds, don’t you agree? ๐
