I had many photographic plans, dreams. One of them was to photograph 400 species of birds belonging to the fauna of Poland. And it happened! In Italy, I photographed the Audouin's Gull as the 400th species of bird included in the fauna of Poland.

Austral blackbird
Passerine
It occurs in the south of Argentina and Chile. Its weight reaches up to 10 grams. I had a few random encounters with austral blackbirds but this bird is unfortunately very skittish. It feeds on seeds and insects. It often lives in groups. While other birds are feeding, one of them guards the others against predators. In case of a hazard, it warns the others with its loud voice.

Austral negrito
Passerine
Unfortunately I managed to encounter an austral negrito just once and the pictures presented here are too much framed. Nevertheless, I decided to create this gallery in order to show the variety of the Patagonian fauna. Especially that I managed to take some pictures of both an adult and a young specimen. Austral negritos occur in Argentina and Chile. Dokumentacyjne |
Austral Pigmy-Owl
Owls
One short event, but I came across four austral pygmy owls. Unfortunately, as it often happens, the sky in the background, in a word, images of a documentary value. Owls were active enough that I was able to record a short sequence of their voice. Its weight does not exceed 100 grams and it relates to females, males are slightly smaller, their weight is no more than 75 grams. The wingspan is about 25 cm. Dokumentacyjne |
Austral thrush
Passerine
It lives in Argentina and Chile. All the photos presented here were taken in Patagonia. It occurred there so commonly that I did not have problems with capturing it, although it always kept a distance, and the photos had to be framed. In its size and behavior it resembles our thrush. Bardzo dobre |
Australasian Darter
Suliformes
This is an amazing bird. I find it extremely beautiful. Its plumage makes the bird resemble a streamlined hull of a torpedo cutting through waters. I saw it diving easily and moving with amazing celerity. It sometimes emerges from the surface of water, when the bird wants to inspect the surroundings. It keeps the bulk of his body under the water. It is not particularly small. It weighs more than 2 kilograms and is 0.9 meters long. Its habitat covers the entire area of Australian rivers and lakes as well as the coast. Dobre |
