Alphabetical list

The Antarctic fur seal also known as the Kerguelen fur seal grows up to 2 meters of height and about 200 kilograms of weight. These are the data for males, because females are much smaller and their weight does not exceed half the weight of males. It occurs only in waters around Antarctica. Unfortunately, when I was there I was not able to take more pictures of this mammal.

Albatrosses, fulmars, shearwaters, storm petrels…

There were not many of them and not many opportunities to capture them on Antarctica. I could take several pictures but in a rather bad light. While our ship sailed between the lumps of ice, every now and then I could see flying terns, but could not see their colonies. The Antarctic tern in size and behavior is very similar to the Arctic tern.

In the Dominican Republic you can take pictures of three species of hummingbirds and the following text refers to all of them. I don’t recommend the Dominican Republic for those of you who want to photograph hummingbirds The beautiful pictures of hummingbirds on the Internet are taken at special feeders where the birds are used to the sight of people. This is the place to try to take a good photo of a flying hummingbird. I said “try” because everyone knows how fast they fly and how fast they can change direction.
