    Ushuaia birding help/advice

    You can go to TdF National Park and go after the Magellanic Woodpecker and other forest birds. Expect to pay an entrance fee. Going after the Seedsnipe by your own without knowing the area, it's not a very good idea as there is some steep hiking involved. If your cruise ship is just Antartica...

    Hooded Grebe and other Patagonian endemics

    Steve, I’m guessing you want to ser Hooded Grebe, Magellanic Plover, Austral Rail. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not promoting myself but I think your best bet is to hire a guide. I’m saying this because the company that owns a lodge at the Strobel Plateu charges you 150 dollars just for picking you...

    Birding sites within a day's travel of Buenos Aires

    Indeed, Otamendi is Ciervo de los Pantanos National Park. Ceibas is another place you need to go. In case you want to hire a guide, I’ll go with Marcelo Gavensky from Natural Birding. I’ll be spending Christmas in BA. If you are there, we can do some birding and grab a beer

    Barbados shorebirds last weekend 2

    I'll go for Hudsonian Godwit, 3 Stilt Sandpiper and 1 White-rumped. The last one because of the wings extending over the tail and the yellowish at the base of the beak

    New Diamondback spotting scopes

    True, my bad. Just checked and the one I own is the 80mm. In my previous work, I used to use a Swarovski ATX and I have to admit that it was tough at the beggining when using this scope. With patagonian light, it's not sharp at all around the corners. As they mentioned before, lots of CA and IQ...

    I bought one last year, the 82mm version. Is that to the new one you are talking about? if so, I can give you my opinion

    Penguin books and documentaries

    There's a book made by GPS (Global Penguin Society) called "Pinguinos",it's in Spanish though. It covers the natural history and conservation of all the penguins species. It costs around 22 dollars in Argentina.

    Ultra lightweight gimbal head?

    Michael, if you are willing to pay it, most of the RRS ball heads can handle your setup even though they are slightly lighter than your gimbal head. Have you seen the Acratech GP-SS ball head?

    Ultra lightweight gimbal head?

    I Michael. I do think that a Gimbal for the R5 and the 100-500 is an overkill. There are some Carbon Fiber Gimbal Heads but with a good designed Ball Head you should be doing great. You will be carrying something smaller and lighter. Even though carbon fiber gimbal heads are lighter (half the...

    Western sandpiper is very rare for Argentina. As Butty mentioned, White-rumped Sandpiper

    Just a sanderling? Almeria, Spain.

    Joseph, yes that's a Sanderling. That interesting color is because it's molting to the breeding plumage.

    El Calafate or Iguazu Falls

    Den, distances in Patagonia are huge! Spending an entire week in El Calafate would mean a waste of time. If you are willing to do some travelling, you can see Hooded Grebe, Magellanic Plover and Austral Rail among other species. Santa Cruz state (where Calafate is located) has one of the lowest...

    Using fill flash

    Just a tip, don't fire your speedlite with the better beamer if you are facing the sun, you'll burn it.

    Using fill flash

    Ian, some people like it and other dislike it. With what lens do you plan to use it? If you are using a big telephoto, you'll need a flash bracket, cords, etc, and it might be out of your budget. I live in Patagonia, which has very bad light the entire year and I just "happy" with that because...
