It was a tough 6 hour trek across across scree and snow often in blizzard conditions, seriously considered abandoning it given the conditions! perseverance and effort paid off in the end. Rio Grande was excellent, Ruddy Headed Goose, Magellanic plover, Rufous Chested Dotterel, Tawney throated Dotterel being the highlights. Tierra del Fuego NP was very frustrating, heavy snow most of the day, jammed into Patagonian Tyrant shortly after the entrance and Spectacled Duck on the lake next to the restaurant. Spent all day looking for Magellanic pecker but missed it! Grey flanked Cinclodes by a stream was almostly certainly off the mountain due to snow fall along with loads of black faced tyrants.</blockquote>
