Quand, Flavien Saboureau, l’aventurier tutoie l’insolite

Il y a des journées où l’on se lève avec l’intention de contempler un oiseau rare, et d’autres où l’on finit par raconter une odyssée presque surréaliste. Sur les routes de Nouvelle-Zélande, Flavien a vécu l’une de ces expériences où chaque détour réserve son lot de surprises.
Entre la quête d’une colonie d’oiseaux uniques et les aléas d’un chemin escarpé, l’humilité devient le guide le plus sûr.
Les panoramas spectaculaires et les rencontres fortuites transforment ce périple en récit digne des grands baroudeurs. Ce parcours de « folie », ponctué de rires, de sueur et de dépassement de soi, n’est pas seulement une succession d’étapes, mais une aventure humaine où chaque instant marque.

I have to repeat my blue-footed booby for the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Gannets. They're in family Sulidae (gannets and boobies) together. I'm sure there's a funny way to incorporate the alternative bird, #BlueTits, into this post now. But I don't have pictures of any of those, regardless. 📷🌿🪶

Gannets diving next to the Bass Rock, an outcrop in the Firth of Forth, #Scotland. Seabirds that have survived bird flu are continuing to reproduce, but low-breeding performance is a “serious concern”, researchers have said.

Nesting gannets and their young at the Bempton Cliffs nature reserve in Yorkshire, #England. More than 250,000 seabirds have flocked to the chalk cliffs to find a mate and raise their young, an annual event from April to August.

The #gannets on Heligoland are so close, that you can really appreciate their aerobatics.
