Wed-30-Dec-2009 - flightless steamer duck family

While out the other day with the family i spent a hour or so watching this family of flightless steamer ducks, here they are feeding in the surf line on a very hot summers day, just before christmas.

Wed-30-Dec-2009 - Falkland grass wren (Cistothorus platensis falklandicus)

A endemic subspecies to the falklands. found in long grass and scrubs it seems to be able to survive in places that have rats, mice and cats. One of my favourite singers here and can have up 400 different song phrases.
