Falkland Islands
In December, 2016, I toured four of the Islands for two weeks. East Falkland, Saunders, Sea Lion, and Bleaker Island; each one unique in its own right regarding birds, mammals, as well as weather and accommodations. At most locations we experienced fine boarding and great meals, but Saunders left much to be desired. From a photographic perspective, the trip certainly equaled its billing as one of the world’s BEST locations for wildlife photography! I traveled with Greg Downing (Naturescapes).
