The latest talk of the Society's Winter Season attracted another 100-plus audience to see Dr Tom Lawson of York's Pacific Ocean Odyssey, a.k.a. "THE ULTIMATE PELAGIC".
*
The journey began in Auckland, New Zealand, with many seabird shots in Hauraki Bay, but it wasn't long before the five week journey began, taking in Norfolk Island, New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands, parts of Papua New Guinea, some islands of Melanesia and Micronesia, Guam, close to the Mariana Trench, and finally Japan.
*
The talk was packed with superb photographs of all manner of Albatrosses, Petrels, Shearwaters, Terns and other seabirds, but also included many of the endemic species of the islands at which he called.
*
The talks brings to a close the first half of a very successful season, with the next talk on Monday 4th January, 2010, with Mike McKavett of Southport who is to talk about "SAMBURU - GATEWAY TO THE NORTHERN DISTRICTS". Mike is somewhat of an Africa specialist, and his photography is without doubt of camera club quality. Another enjoyable evening to look forward to.
