Birds of the Falkland Islands
The incredible bird life of the Falkland Islands is awe-inspiring. Below are some of the species you may encounter on a visit to this fascinating place....
In 2001/2 I undertook the first of many voyages to Antarctica & the High Arctic (Svalbard). Polar travel became a passion. My experience and knowledge gained whilst working as Peregrine’s Polar Expeditions Manager, working with Quark Expeditions and One Ocean Expeditions, allows me to offer expert advice to ensure your trip south really is the trip of a lifetime. My most recent trip was in Dec 2017 & Jan 2018.
