I met a very nice green tree python in Sydney.
We’re up north of Newcastle enjoing a beach holliday. Weather’s improved, and yesterday was 29 degrees, a little windy and cooler today.

In Sydney
In Sydney, jetlagged and a little hungover from the Moyes christmas party yesterday. Nice to be back here again, even if the weather is not very nice at the moment with rain and wind. Georgia and me will be tourists for the next weeks, before the comps start.
The real XC fliers
The Sooty shearwater (No: Grålire) seabird has been known to fly long distances over the oceans looking for food and migrating with the seasons. How far they flew was unknown until a group of scientists tagged the birds with satellite location devices.
This shows 19 birds during 262 days of breeding and migration. Wild!

The birds are very common, and also live in the Atlantic where they migrate from the Falklands to Jan Mayen.
