Here I am at the end/bottom of the world. Boarding the ship tomorrow but had a day out in the countriside of Tierra del Fuego watching birds along the Bealge Channel. So able to test out which pocket I keep gloves, hat, sunglasses, binoculars etc in. will no doubt get a proper system going soon.
There are some SERIOUS birders on this trip with some SERIOUS equipment ...leaves me gawping. However, highlight of the day was seeing two condor near a nest. Slowly circling about: 10 ft wing span, thier 8 finger feathers on each wing are about 16 inches long. Loads of other brids which I hope I will be competent in identifying by the time I get back.
Yet to meet my 'boat' room mate as she only arrives tonight......
That's all for now until I get back to dry land.
Hasta luego mis amigos!
