South American Snipe

Charadriiformes

A short one encounter, and to be honest I was lucky to be able to take some photos. I tried twice and failed with a fairly fast moving snipe. The pictures I can show you here were taken when it squat down before the departure. The south American snipe weight is about 110 grams.

South American tern

Charadriiformes

Many dynamic photos of the South American tern were taken in the port in Ushuaia. Terns had founded their noisy colony on a ship stranded on shallows. There were dozens of them, and the whole difficulty consisted in capturing them in flight in a sharp, dynamic picture. Frankly speaking it is difficult to spot the differences between an Arctic, Antarctic and South American tern.

South polar skua

Charadriiformes

I set a photo gallery of Great skua not so long ago, it was after my visit to Iceland. It was not so easy to photograph this bird there. And what a surprise, in Antarctica there were many of South polar skua, especially among hundreds of penguins. Every time when great skuas flew around, penguin colonies were alerted right away. Single skuas sat among penguins and they looked like taking a short nap. Nothing could be further from the truth. They waited for watchful penguin parents to be lulled actually watching them closely.
