Danube Delta 2012

A quick 'hello' from the Danube Delta, where we are currently moored up at Sfantu Georghe, just at the mouth of the channel next to the Black Sea coast. A beautiful sunny evening, with the smells of yet another spectacular meal wafting through the boat... life is hard, sometimes. : )

from the top: Dalmatian Pelican, one of a handful we've seen so far amongst the several hundred White Pelicans; Large Copper, a stunning little butterfly; Squacco Heron are a ridiculously common sight, but it's quite a challenge to get a photo of one looking semi-relaxed, as they are very quick to take flight as the boat draws alongside; Great Black-headed Gull, one of the key Delta specialities, we had around ten during the day as me moved from Uzlina downstream to where we are now.

Not a bad first few days.
