Hello the world,

In 1996 I had the opportunity to go to the region of Madagan in Siberia oriental extreme, by the sea of Okhotsk.
From there we took a boat which "dropped" us on the peninsula of Koni (between Madagan and the peninsula of Kamchatka) to take back us one week later and during this time we observed the brown bears, the Steller’s sea eagle, the sea birds, the seals etc.
Then always by boat we were on Talan island for one week approximately.
On this island about 2,5 km2 live important colonies of tufted puffins, horned puffins, parakeet auklet, crested auklet, a nest of Steller’s sea eagle (with a young during our stay), black- legged kittiwake, seagulls, cormorants etc. AND FOXES!
I spent everything in daytime several hours with them, until make the siesta with one of them, played with a roguish female and especially to observe them in ........
Here are some modest pictures of these moments.

First of all, to place you.

It's nice to meet them again, but for the "trombinoscope" I should ask : who among them is Freefox ? :mrgreen:

Et bien cela me donne l'occasion de dire qu'il y a des choses vraiment exceptionnelles dans cette série... Il faudra que tu nous racontes çà plus en détail un jour... I am dreaming of the bears and Steller sea eagles of Kamtchatka for instance...
Ou, à l'américaine : "fantastic, great...." ;)

Amicalement

Xavier

Pfffffttttt de l'angliche, ce n'est pas gentil pour moi ça. ;) :mrgreen:

Heureusement, il s'agit d'une histoire en images très facile à comprendre et surtout à apprécier. Et j'apprécie.... :)

Ces photos de renards très amicaux sont impressionnantes, et, comme Xavier, j'espère que tu pourras un de ces jours nous raconter ça de vive voix.

Amicalement,

Yvon
