From a recent wander down to Ullswater. End of the day clearing skies provided some lovely light over the Helvellyn range and great reflections. PS I nearly packed up and went home, patience and cold hands sometimes pays off

Here are a couple of Southern Giant Petrels, seen recently in the South Atlantic and Antarctic. They have a face only a mother could love, but also a striking white phase that was regularly seen in Antarctica.

A favourite from the southern oceans was Black-bellied Storm-Petrel. Similar to the numerous Wilson's Storm-Petrels they share the seas with from above, they show their striking underside as they bank. Often seen delicately bouncing over the surface, feet pattering.

Winter heliotrope. I love the scent these flowers have, sometimes cherry/marzipan or vanilla .
