Here is some information about myself; I am human (80% of doctors would agree), and I am obsessed with nature, science, swimming, freediving and all things aqua.
Life is less bleak underwater - no matter how many you encounter.
Yes, I said freediving. That involves holding your breath for ages whilst diving underwater and hoping your Action Cam is definitely waterproof.
Me freediving in Sirmione - Lake Garda
And yes, I like to photograph wildlife. I'm not a pro, though. Sometimes I'm just lucky.
Like the time a Californian Brown Pelican followed me and my lunch for a whole morning.
And sometimes I'm not so lucky.
Photo captured seconds after a gigantic green dragonfly flew away.
You'll just have to imagine it.
And no, I am not a professional, intermediate or even basic birdwatcher. If they fly in front my camera, I will definitely take a photo and then watch them swiftly fly away (I'm not that stealthy). You could perhaps call me an underachieving birdwatcher.
Look, a swan.
(Photo captured at safest possible distance)
Seriously though, I will be adding information at times. It may or may not be interesting, but it will involve science.
Did you know that the scales of the Common Bleak contain crystalline guanine? It is also called 'pearl essence' and is used to make artificial pearls, as well as being added to some cosmetics.
Most of the time though, this blog is just me pointing at things and saying 'look what I saw!'
Underwater, it's never rude to point.
Enjoy!
