Wildlife Photography

I thought members are supposed to post their own pictures. Not pictures found on the internet?

This is my photo I’ll take that as a compliment though.

You sure can! Thought they were too amazing to be true and saw one picture had a name instead of a number. I thought all uploaded pics on BYC get a number.
Did you post them on another website before you posted (linked) them here?

Nope, I just rename my photos sometimes rather than the default numbers from the camera. The only other place they are is on Instagram (account name there is the same - offshoreorca).

Photography is still very much a hobby for me, but I see such neat things during the research surveys and side trips I go on that I make an effort to share them once in a while

It's both, depending on where you're looking. Uploads are named as the uploader submitted them. The links to those photos for urls are numeric, however. I've got stuff posted all over BYC that's named files.

Awesome photos!

What do you suppose this mark on the dolphin is? Almost looks like it was impaled with something....

Red-legged Partridge Alectoris rufa (Linnaeus, 1758)
Order: Galliformes Family: Phasianidae Status: Breeding in Madeira

Wild partridge on an empty parking. Coming over for an easy meal (people threw bread crumbles out of the car). It hopped on the little wall near me because a car was coming.

It could be many things - more likely from a parasite or small cookie cutter shark, but it is possible that it has a more nefarious origin. The dolphin is still doing well though, so it has healed up!
