Our trip to Chile back in November had some excellent sightings, including the stunning Diademed Sandpiper-Plover, Inca Terns, several Albatross species and of course Pumas!
BOC shot of a close Northern Buller's Albatross on a Pelagic off Central Chile today with Avian Adventures. White-chinned Petrels, Royal and Salvin's Albatrosses, Peruvian Diving-Petrels, Humbolt Penguins, Inca Terns and Seaside Cinclodes also seen. Some birds yet to be ID'D!!
Just a gorgeous Diademed Sandpiper-Plover chilling out by the side of the mountain track on my first full day in Chile (with Avian Adventures). Andean Condors weren't too shabby either!
BOC shot of Red-backed Sierra-Finch at 4,300m in the Andes. Loads more flamingoes, Giant Coots, Aplomado Falcon, Grey-breasted Seedsnipe and canoodling Mountain Parakeets, Puna Hawk plus loads of Vicuna made for a very exciting day. With Avian Adventures
3 species of flamingo in the Atacama Desert today, including this James's, plus point blank views of Andean Avocets, Baird's Sandpipers, Puna Plovers and Fabian's Lizards to name but a few birds on the Avian Adventures tour of Chile. Highrr altitude Birding tomorrow!
Still buzzing from the excitement of this event! And thrilled for my Avian Adventures group that came along for the birding ride of a lifetime. Excellent work, JJ! @Draycotebirding
