Svalbard reindeer
Sometimes, it is said that if Santa Claus lives at the North Pole, his reindeers come from Svalbard. And we met some of them, of course. Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus, renne or caribou). Svalbard, June 2013.

Svalbard: A seal
It was a long time in coming, would say some of the obsevrers here. Here come some photos brought back from a wildlife destination much colder than my usual travels of the past. No big cat in the icy Svalbard archipelago. It was in June this year (2013) that I traveled to Spitzberg while the…

Moving
Little administrative message for those of you you know me more personally than through a mere Internet connexion: I just moved which is a relatively good explanation for some of the minor service disruptions observed on the Roumazeilles.net web site these recent days.

Kori Bustard
Quite unusual I’m said, this Kori bustard was parading for a partner. The bird already big (the Kori bustard is the largest flying bird), but during this display it is pushing its tail up and enlarging its neck to very large proportions. Amazing and beautiful. Kori Bustard (Ardeotis kori, Outarde Kori). Tanzania, Ngorongoro Conservancy Area,…
