Wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans) on the wing at sunset approaching South Georgia Island, Southern Atlantic Ocean. The Wandering Albatross has the largest wingspan of any living bird, with the average wingspan being 3.1 metres (10.2 ft). The longest-winged examples verified have been about 3.7 m (12 ft), but probably erroneous reports of as much as 5.3 m (17.5 ft) are known. As a result of its wingspan, it is capable of remaining in the air without beating its wings for several hours at a time (travelling 22 metres for every meter of drop). The length of the body is about 1.35 m (4.4 ft) with females being slightly smaller than males, and they weigh typically from 6 to 12 kg (13-26 lb). Immature birds have been recorded weighing as much as 16.1 kg (35 lb) during their first flights. The plumage varies with age, but adults have white bodies with black and white wings. Males have whiter wings than females with just the tips and trailing edges of the wings black. They feed on squid, small fish and on animal refuse that floats on the sea, eating to such excess at times that they are unable to fly and rest helplessly on the water.

White Tailed Kites exchanging a vole in mid-flight, San Francisco Bay, California, America - 23 Jun 2010

White Tailed Kites exchanging a vole in mid-flight, San Francisco Bay, California, America - 23 Jun 2010
IN-FLIGHT MEAL FOR BABY KITE
A fledgling white-tailed kite gets an in-flight meal as it chases after its dad 100 feet above the ground and is then handed a vole in mid-air.
The seven week old, which is too young to hunt for itself, perched on a nearby oak tree with its two siblings waiting for their dad to return with breakfast.
It was then a race to the food, with the fastest and most agile youngster snatching the vole with its talons - leaving the others to go hungry until the next time.
Retired surgeon Phil Seu, 48, spent 100 hours photographing the birds from a hide in San Francisco Bay, California, United States.
The remarkable series of pictures, showing the exchange of food, took less than two seconds. The birds were flying at almost 15 miles per hour at the time.
Phil said: "I was going to the nature reserve on a regular basis to photograph a pair of nesting white-tailed kites I had observed building a nest earlier in the season.
"This pair successfully raised three fledglings during my observation period.
"The bird with the vole is the adult male white-tailed kite and the other is a recently fledged juvenile.
"It is approximately seven weeks old and has only been flying for about two weeks.
"At this age, the fledglings are not able to hunt for themselves so they hang out on trees near the nest while the adult male goes off on hunting forays.
"The adult female was tending to a second nest at this time.
"When the adult returns from a successful hunt with a vole, the three fledglings get very excited and start vocalising and flying around trying to get to the vole first.
"The sequence of images shows one of the fledglings approaching the adult and then reaching fo...

'Supercell' storm photos by professional storm chaser Mike Hollingshead, Nebraska, America - 19 Jun 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Mike Hollingshead/Solent News / Rex Features ( 1367834g )
Storm Chaser Heads For Eye Of The Storm
These photos capture the incredible moments a huge 'supercell' storm reared up like a giant tidal wave, sparking phenomenal sideways bolts of lightning.
Professional storm chaser Mike Hollingshead photographed the astonishing night scenes and described them as the best shots he has taken in his 13 year career.
They reveal the curious supercell thunderstorm spectacle, sometimes called a rotation storm, which features a deep, rotating updraft.
It causes the tops of clouds to jut out and create wave-like effects which last for hours.
On this occasion, the storm also created rare intracloud lightning - sideways lightning bolts.
Mike, 35, took the photographs in Nebraska, America.
He said: "I received a warning about a tornado so jumped in the car and just started heading for it.
"On the journey I was hoping it would be worthwhile and when I got there I was stunned.
"Intense easterly winds were raging into the storm and I had to use the car as a bit of a windbreak or the camera tripod would have blown over.
"Normally, I'm pretty quiet when taking photographs but couldn't contain myself when nature is putting on such truly grand and rare shows.
"Every now and then I caught myself yelling out 'Oh my God, I can't believe this!'
"I've seen some cool storms, but this night supercell takes the cake. It was a really other-worldly storm structure and the best I've seen in 13 years chasing.
"This year has been a bit dull for storms and tornadoes, there have been a lot of killer tornadoes in America but chasers don't go for those because they're too dangerous."
The following day Mike also photographed some stunning tornadoes that had been whipped up by the storm.
He added: "Roads can mess you up, decisions, timing, a lot c...

Man creates five scale models of Titanic showing different points in her journey, Bideford, Devon, Britain - Mar 2012

An Obsession Of Titanic Proportions
Former shipbuilder Mike Burton is so obsessed with the Titanic he has converted his home into a shrine to the stricken liner.
The 54-year-old blacksmith has used knowledge garnered from his years working on the docks to construct five scale models of the liner.
Mike, who had an ancestor aboard the ship, has spent a year painstakingly creating the models.
He has now put the finishing touches to the replicas just in time for the 100th anniversary of the disaster.
The five remarkably detailed miniatures show the progress of the ship from the Belfast yard where she was built to the wreckage lying on the bed of the North Atlantic.
The father-of-two admitted: "I have been besotted with the Titanic since I was a young boy. My interest in the ship only increased as I spent my working life in shipyards across Britain.
"My wife Deborah has spent the last year complaining about the smell of fumes as I hand painted the ships in the lounge but it was something I felt I had to do.
"I wanted to tell the whole story of the Titanic and not have to go anywhere to see it."
Mike has created the three-foot long models complete with miniature crew members, first and second class accommodation and lights shining through the portholes.
They represent the ship's construction, setting off on her maiden voyage from Southampton, approaching the iceberg, starting to sink and finally the wreckage on the sea bed.
He has worked entirely from his remarkable knowledge of the Titanic amassed during his working life as a blacksmith at shipyards in Bristol, Glasgow and Sunderland.
He even spent five months working at the famous Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast where the Titanic was built.
"I went into the shipyards as a 15-year-old and in 1990 I was sent for a stint at Harland an...

Curiosity Approaching Mars - Artist's Concept
NASA's Curiosity rover lands on Mars - 06 Aug 2012
This is an artist's concept of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft approaching Mars. The Curiosity rover is safely tucked inside the spacecraft's aeroshell. The mission's approach phase begins 45 minutes before the spacecraft enters the Martian atmosphere. It lasts until the spacecraft enters the atmosphere. For navigation purposes, the atmospheric entry point is (2,188 miles (3,522 kilometers) above the center of the planet. This illustration depicts a scene after the spacecraft's cruise stage has been jettisoned, which will occur 10 minutes before atmospheric entry. The Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft is being prepared for launch during Nov. 25 to Dec. 18, 2011. Landing on Mars is in early August 2012. In a prime mission lasting one Martian year (nearly two Earth years) researchers will use the rover's tools to study whether the landing region has had environmental conditions favorable for supporting microbial life and for preserving clues about whether life existed.

Typhoon Bopha heading toward the Philippines - 02 Dec 2012
Super Typhoon Bopha made landfall in the southern Philippines early Tuesday.
Super Typhoon Bopha has estimated wind speeds around 160 miles per hour with gusts over 195 miles per hour or roughly 170 knots.
The equivalent to a category-five hurricane, the storm came ashore in the southern province of Davao at dawn, uprooting trees and blowing off roofs.
Residents in flood-prone areas were moving into shelters, ABC reported.
On Monday, Philippine President Benigno Aquino warned the public to take storm warnings seriously. "The potential destruction of this typhoon is no joke," Aquino said in a national television and radio address.

Head Fur Heights: Hiding Bear Cubs Climb Tree
These photographs show four adorable bear cubs climbing for safety as an alpha male approaches them.
Fearing for her cub's lives the mother bear urges them to scramble up the nearest tree trunk while she keeps watch on the ground.
The dramatic scene was snapped by photographer Lauri Tammik in woods in north Finland.
She explained that alpha bears have been known to kill bear cubs in order to mate with their mother.
When the female brown bear made a sound with her mouth her obedient cubs scampered to the top of a fir tree in the Martinselkonen nature reserve.
The 46-year-old from Estonia said: "The mother bear made a warning cry that danger was approaching and rushed her cubs to a tree.
"When the male bear came closer the mother bear started to snarl to scare him away from the cubs."
Eventually when the coast was clear the cubs nervously climbed back down in a circular movement but not before they had looked all around to check the predator was gone.
Before being disturbed the bear cubs had been play-fighting under the watchful eye of their mother.
The brown bear is the national animal of Finland where the scene took place.

Curious penguin tries to eat camera left by a geologist in Antarctica - 06 Dec 2013

Curious Penguin Tries To Eat Camera
A penguin bit off more than it could chew when it tried to eat a camera left in the snow by a geologist in Antarctica.
The Gentoo Penguin is filmed waddling up to the camera and opening its large red beak to eat it.
But the penguin quickly discovers it is not as tasty as it looks and wanders off to find some fish instead.
The cute sequence, which shows the penguin up close and personal, looks like something from the popular children's Pingu cartoon.
The camera was left near a penguin highway on Cuverville Island for a couple of hours by a geologist, who was on a tour of Antarctica with G Adventures, which owns and operates the expedition vessel MS Expedition.
Cuverville Island is one of the largest Gentoo penguin colonies.
A member of the expedition team posted the image on Twitter and wrote: "This Gentoo #hashPenguin just ate our @GoPro. #hashAntarctica'
They later added: "Bird-selfies, so hot right now. Or in our case, very cold."
Gentoo penguins are easily recognized by the wide white stripe, which extends like a bonnet across their heads and their bright orange-red bill.
They have pale whitish-pink webbed feet and a fairly long tail - the most prominent tail of all penguins.
As the Gentoo penguin waddles along on land, its tail sticks out behind, sweeping from side to side, hence the scientific name Pygoscelis, which means "rump-tailed."
Adult Gentoos reach a height of 51 to 90 cm making them the third largest species of penguin.
They are the fastest underwater swimming penguins, reaching speeds of 36 km/h (22 mph) and are adapted to very harsh cold condition.
