South American Tern.
There are lots of South American terns and brown hooded gulls around at Volunteer point at the moment as they are breeding on a small island in one of the ponds about 1.5 miles in land. They are fishing a lot along the shore line. I have also counted upto 19 Sanderlings on the beach, These are rare(but seen in small numbers most years) vistors to the Falklnd Islands.The King penguins have been hatching now for two weeks and chicks are starting to be seen in increasing numbers.gentoo chicks are nearly fledge and are at that age when every thing has to be investigated, they really are like naughty teenagers and great fun to watch at this time of year. The barn owls have fledge and are now perched in the trees during the day and add to the symphony of sound at night.
