This was the "big boat we took next day and it seem that everybody's OK with the liqor last night.






OK, back to the boating day. This ismy 2nd experiences to photographing on a boat, I remember I took a lot of beautiful sea gull at the first time travel to New Zealand, you just have to keep stable while took your shots of those lovely birds.


We got three different kind of sea gulls here, but most of the photos were blur or out of foucs wither way, took me whole night to checked all ot them....




Roseate Tern
















Black-naped Tern













Bridled Tern










We still waving even after we've back to the pier, maybe we were still in the moods with those lovely sea gulls. After a big beef noodle we back to our ways to next destination, with a jumbo cup of iced drink for everybody to cool us down a bit in that 35 degree of temperture of course.
