Glad to know this photo I took of a Chilean Swallow can be said to be exceptional 😅

Merlin has low expectations for me today 😂

Finally found an owl!

This marks my first owl lifer:
A Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl in La Sabana parc.

Sorry for the back of the camera shot, I'll post the actual image later. #birds

I love seeing kingfishers!

Not the sharpest of photos, but my best photo of a Great Spotted Woodpecker so far.

The first time I saw one of these woodpeckers I was so exited I slipped on the mossy wooden walkway and fell hard. I did manage to get a picture though!

Birding can be frustrating when you go out and find no birds around you. Luckily, in Chile the Chincoles are always there to accompany you and pose for the camera.
