Yesterday I went out to Gypsy Cove in the morning, Not much around apart from Black Chinned Siskin, Grass Wren & Falkland Thrush. On the way back came across a very large flock of White Bridled Finches numbering about 200+ they were feeding on the gravel track and grass bogs along the side of the track.

I then went out to Cape Pembroke but again not much about apart from 5+ Cattle Egrets, Tussucbird, Falkland Thrush, Falkland Pipit, Long Tailed Meadowlark & Dark Faced Ground Tyrant.

Off the coast there were quite a few Southern Fulmar, Sooty Shearwater, Black Browed Albatross & Southern Giant Petrel.
On the way back home called into see if the Violet Eared Doves were still about, after a few minutes both appeared in there usual field.
