'Falklands Snipe' (1 Viewer)

When I visited the Falklands I was struck by how different, the local Dark-faced Ground-Tyrant was. They seemed large and grey, different than the mainland ones. It would be interesting to get some genetic work done that included this form.

Here are a selection of Magellanic Snipe shots that I have including a bird that has completed barred underparts that I suspected was a Fuegain Snipe at first.

Cheers

Visit www.surfbirds.com/blog/falklandbirder for images of a leucistic Dark Faced Ground Tyrant.

Nice shots! I hope some of these will make it into the general gallery, so that a search can find them ...
