Chile, 2019 A week spent during the Chilean winter with the focal point being the total solar eclipse on the 2nd July. Not many opportunities to see birds - central Santiago, the Elqui Valley and at El Pangue Observatory waiting for the eclipse. I was happy to see these birds, all lifers. One other bird I saw in the far off distance was an Andean Condor; unmistakable due to its size, glide and huge wing span. Here's some of the splendid Chilean scenery and images of the solar eclipse. |
