A day at sea gave us all a chance to relax, enjoy the amenities of National Geographic Orion (there were several glowing reports regarding the fine massage skills of Lani, our Wellness Specialist), catch up on reading or photo editing, and simply watching the sea go by. Beautiful seabirds followed the ship all day, so that after Connor Ryan’s presentation on “The Seabirds of New Zealand”, we were able to go out on deck to observe and photograph the very birds about which we had learned. For today’s images, we’re featuring three of New Zealand’s fantastic endemic feathered friends!
