Cosmo Sheldrake // "Pelicans We," from the EP of the same name

Andrew Bird // "The Cormorants," from Echolocations: River

Fleetwood Mac // "Albatross," from The Pious Bird of Good Omen

At long last, now that the gifts have been received by all other #seabirders on the opposite side(s) of the world, I can post these radical vintage #seabird finds, for #SeabirdSaturday / #SeabirderSaturday! Light-mantled Sooty Albatross for me, Brown Skua for @sjurdur, & Southern Giant Petrels for @leastauklet & @ribbonworm! Found these incredible, intriguing old photos of various seabird species, likely from a sub-Antarctic island, just sitting in a drawer at an antique shop in Kalk Bay, on the Cape Peninsula. #seabirds #albatross #giantpetrel #skua #vintage (at Kalk Bay Trading Post) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrIRhwtBb9K/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8fguymzes5kx
