This evenings meal was yet another triumph. Roast Pheashant, a julienne of vegetables, lyonnaise potatoes all served with a red wine jus. Conversation over dinner was largely dominated by the bird most of us missed.
WHITE CAPPED ALBATROSS
A White-capped or Shy (Virtually inseperable at sea) was seen by half the on board birders including one of our own, sharp eyed Ivan. The rest of us missed it for a number of reasons. Firstly Mark had done one of his now infamous dissapearing acts and had been awol for some time, Kenny was busy practising his charm offensive on any random passanger that passed within range whilst I was below deck taking afternoon tea and watching yet another dazzling display of Argentinian Tango. Argentinian Tango? How does that differ from classical tango I hear you cry. Well the answer of course is with the position of the dancers. Classical tango requires the dancers to dance with their backs arched away from each other whilst Argentinian tango dictates the dancers dance chest to chest and as closely as possible (very appealing).
And will the White-capped be back in the morning?
