Thank you for visiting Sealord photography on Smugmug.
Sealord photography focuses on three themes:
Biodiversity with an emphasis on marine life
Sustainability relating to construction & urban development; energy; food; transport; and waste.
The Guernsey community
Guernsey insects and spiders
I find that photography is a great benefit for remembering what I have seen and where I have seen it. I hope to grow this gallery of images of insects so that it may help Guernsey residents and visitors identify the species they come across.
Sitona weevil lands on menu at outdoor St Peter Port eatery
This small weevil in the genus Sitona was firmly attached to a restaurant menu in an outdoor eating area in St. Peter Port, Guernsey on the 21 July 2008. There are several species in the genus Sitona so the exact species cannot be identified from this photograph. Dr. Charles David of the Guernsey Biological Records Centre who identified the species to genus level said that Sitona sp. eat papilionaceous plants.

Sealord photography's biodiversity images began with a focus on international commercial seafood species and the marine life of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, Great Britain.
Sealord photography has a growing collection of digital images covering climate change, the environment and sustainability issues.
Sealord photography also covers the Guernsey community and particularly the fund raising activities of Guernsey charities as part of the island's social sustainability.
The fish, shellfish and marine life images would not be possible if it were not for the generosity of commercial and recreational fishermen in Guernsey, and seafood suppliers at various trade shows in the USA, and wholesalers at Fulton Fish Market in New York City.
Many marine biologists have helped identify or confirm the identity of marine species photographed. These people have been mentioned when possible.
