• Tuesday, February 9, 2010 - Rockhopper Penguin at Gypsy Cove

This afternoon I went around to Gypsy Cove for a couple of hours, the Magellanic Penguins are now in large groups while they undertake their annual moult. In amongst one group there was a lone Rockhopper Penguin.

                  

Other birds seen included Tussucbird, White Bridled Finch, Dark Faced Ground Tyrant, Black Chinned Siskin & Falkland Pipit.

At the Black Crowned Night Heron colony there were 6 adults and 5 chicks.

When I was leaving Gypsy Cove I came across this recently fledge Falkland Thrush waiting for one of its parents to bring it food.
