Fabrice Schmitt and Steve Howell from their ongoing tour of Chile



November 05: Fabrice Schmitt and Steve Howell from their ongoing tour of Chile

Now back in Santiago after the first two sections, in Tierra del Fuego and the Lake District. Many highlights to date, ranging from majestic King Penguins on Tierra del Fuego (including a lone wanderer on a beach far from the new colony!) to demure Des Mur’s Wiretails in the Lake District bamboo thickets. A few images below, before we start our birding in Central and Northern Chile.
