BogMonster Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Today I went to the northernmost point of East Falkland, Cape Dolphin, a couple of hours on the road and an hour or so off it gets to this Some penguins A nice bit of coastline, and a passing turkey vulture or two which is home to some of these One on the left saying "Oooooooooooh what was in that bottle" Penguins are not top of the food chain Right at the north end, I stopped for lunch and a beer. View to the left was this and view to the right was this You don't get much better spots to stop for lunch, anywhere in the world Went back to the 90 to discover the locals were investigating the prospects of using this curious metal tree for a nest Cheeky little b*gger! A thoroughly enjoyable day out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Stephen,Wow, that looks superb, nice piccies too The kids want to know what sort of penguins they are ( OK, I do too ) I guessed Gentoo (?) We're kind of into that sort of thing in this household. Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 Paul, It would have been perfect for it, but BBQs are strictly off limits up there! All the deep tussac grass on the point is incredibly flammable and if it caught fire it wouldn't stop for anything, it would devastate the whole area. As there are quite a few visitors, you can't trust people's common sense so the rule is just No. Steve, correctly guessed Apart from the one at the top which is the rare shady eyed penguin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Lovely pictures yet again Stephen. In the 8th picture of the coastline - what's the box thing on the tide edge? Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
