Massive 3m+ wingspans on these guys - the biggest wingspan of any bird. And really difficult to get a satisfying photograph of...

They're listed as "vulnerable" by the IUCN - this is mostly caused by long line fishing.

National Geographic Traveller's Intelligent Travel blog have just used my Blue Ice photo in an article about

Canal and apartments near Heemstedestraat, Amsterdam. I spotted this while walking from the Greenpeace office in Amsterdam. My colleague, Brian, told me "go photograph Amsterdam, you always see it differently to me", but I don't think anyone was expecting that I'd find my photograph just the other side of the Amsterdam Centraal to Schiphol airport line from the office.
