Went out to Cape Dolphin today for a days birding, saw lots of good birds including 8 Southern Caracara’s and 6 different Red Backed Hawk including a nice juvenile bird.

The Gentoo Penguin colony at the Cape is just about finished their annual moult.

 Saw lots of large flocks of Rufous Chested Dotterels that look as though they are getting ready to start their migration North. 

Around the edge of the pond there were small groups of Ruddy Headed & Upland Geese. On the pond there were large numbers of Speckled Teal with small numbers of Black Necked Swan & White Tufted Grebe including a family group.

I also found a Coot species that I will do a separate post on.
