replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Hi folks. Joining #PTTravel from North Yorkshire after a stroll around Harrogate and Wetherby. Can you spot the flying or at least leaping fish?

I've been out and about in Newcastle-upon-Tyne for the markets earlier. A bit damp but nice to walk around

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel I'm good! Back in Amesbury after a couple of days near Eastbourne, and have enough stuff amassed to keep the blog going for a while.

A1 #pttravel I don’t have a lot of bird pictures, although I found a few things such as this African Fish Eagle I saw looking at the hippos in South Africa.

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW Such a lovely sound. I have woken up a few times over the years to the sound of lots of birds. Its just the smell of a lot of birds that isn't great 😆 #PTTravel

A1 #PTTravel Australian bustards; apparently very rare. We thought they were emus, till a couple took flight. Not very good picture; the guide was braking frantically. I think he'd be in trouble if he hit one!

replying to @RooLovesTravel @RooLovesTravel @kate_frankie #pttravel Love penguins, but I think I've overexposed my penguin pix. and should maybe give them a rest.

replying to @RooLovesTravel @RooLovesTravel Can any penguins fly? Even a small amount to get out of danger? I feel like I heard they can propel themselves up out of the water but maybe that's more of a swim jump than fly #PTTravel
