    Antarctica cruise and Argentina Nov-Dec 2021

    Yes, there were disappointingly few of us birders on the ship. I'm still working through the over 20'000 pictures from that trip, mostly BIF serials with lots of unusable stuff.

    Antarctica cruise and Argentina Nov-Dec 2021

    Thanks for the link to the picture. Most likely it was taken at the same place (Gypsy Cove) as the ones we saw. The crop focuses on the nest sites on the top of the outer parts, but there were nests on the side closer to me as well (not well visible on the full view picture though). I should...

    Antarctica cruise and Argentina Nov-Dec 2021

    (part 2) In the areas closer to Ushuaia, including Tierra del Fuego NP, we observed with Esteban on all the other days, including after the cruise. I had a few smaller birds on my bucket-list as well, in particular Thorn-tailed Rayadito and White-throated Treerunner. The first was no big...

    Antarctica cruise and Argentina Nov-Dec 2021

    We had originally booked a cruise for 2020, but Corona led to complete cancellations for that period. It was by far not certain that cruises would be possible this time. And it turned out that our company (OCEANWIDE EXPEDITIONS https://www.oceanwide-expeditions.com ) was going to send only two...
