Pelagic Trip 25th June 2010

Rented a boat to take us out to sea off the east coast of the UAE.  The aim was to photograph Persian Shearwater, Bridled Tern and Brown Noddy.  The water was fairly choppy but not too bad ,  unfortunately the weather was very dusty and affected the lighting conditions somewhat.  Anyways it was a great few hours and will definitely be doing it again.  More images at Mike Barth's Pics
