I would like to know what 14,000km from France has got to do with the Falkland Islands.

crested caracara, it cn't be striated, since that species doesn't have a white chin.

Crested Caracara has been split into two possibley three species by some authors.

The one we get in the Falklands is now called Southern Caracara.


Any ideas on number 4?

Cheers Tim,

Always good to see your comments.

P.S were you at UEA with Ade Long?



Edenwatcher, Yes it is locally called Tussacbird. Due mainly because only found on Tussuc Islands that are free from Rats & Cats. Thanks to hard work by Falkland Conservation the number of Islands that are now free of rats & cats is growing.
