Another shot from the weekend, very difficult conditions but it was so special with the strength of the wind blowing the sand around. This large male was trying his best to keep the sand out of his nostrels.

Highly atmospheric and evocative image Danny - a shot that I'd be really proud to have taken. Stunner imo

Another very good image, almost looks like he is swimming through the sand,(you are brave taking your gear out in such conditions).

Cheers

Another great shot, almost looks like he is flying in brown clouds!

I'm afraid I'd have to buck the trend on this one Danny. It just doesn't do it for me, I prefer the earlier post.

Well worth braving the elements for Danny. A bit different to the norm.
