| Large eggs of the nesting Kelp Geese |
Thursday, November 2 - Keppel Island, West Falklands
While walking, I saw many nests - often unable to see them until I was right on top of their location. The nesting Kelp goose would flush up out of the brush, startling me and giving away the nest's location. I saw many blooming shrubs, with pretty pink and white flowers. Of course, the golden flowers of the gorse bushes added bright spots all along the hike.
