Beaches, Birds and Things

The Falkland Islands are famous for their bird life and I am becoming familiar with lots of them although they are not very friendly and always fly away when I try to talk to them!

The other day these Upland Geese were not at all interested in bonding

This morning I got up early to see if I would have any better luck this time

I saw lots of birds in the distance: A Turkey Vulture, Logger Ducks, a Ground Tyrant, a Dotterel, more Upland Geese (there are lots of them!), kelp gulls, a thrush, a long tailed meadowlark (we call them robins as they have a red breast), common shags, grass wrens (in the grass!) and many more that I cannot remember, but no penguins (although I did catch a glimpse of a King Penguin the other day)

This two banded plover seemed to want to play




Oh Heck what now?



I think he really just wanted to get me wet!

so I just savored the beautiful sunrise

which is my favorite thing to do on a nice morning



Basset Bliss -smells, sounds and solitude-

And Interesting Birds!

Is that a penguin I see before me?
