    Falkland Islands Upland Goose? This one has strange markings.

    As RyanI said it is just dirty feathers. I lived in the Falkland Islands for 35 years and saw many strange Upland Geese over the years.

    Rare, white Penguin

    Not that rare, there have been many over the years in the Falkland Islands. Mainly Gentoo Penguins but also Southern Rockhopper Penguin. Some birds returned to the same colonies for many years. The Rocky pictured below returned to a colony on Pebble Island for at least 11 years. Cheers Alan

    Hummingbird Hawk Moth species in the Falkland Islands

    Hi Rafael, Yes as you can image I was a little bit excited when I saw it. Watched it for about 10 minutes and even got a short video with my phone. I have seen one other hawk moth you mention both alive and found one dead.. Will try to make contact with someone who will know. Cheers and stay...

    Albatross ID - Between Cape Dolphin, Fakland Islands and Punta Delgada, Argentina

    I suspect it is a Southern Royal. The amount of white on the upper parts is not a problem in really old birds as in the one attached. Bill is a bit strange but suspect because of the quality of the picture you can't see the black cutting edge to the whole bill just towards the end. Cheers...

    Which albatross? Kaikoura NZ

    Wing pattern all wrong for South Royal Albatross. Certainly not an Amsterdam or Antipodean. See no reason why it is not a Wandering (Snowy) Albatross Cheers Alan
