Dear All,
I spent a little more than three weeks in Chile last year, and now have a report ready. It consists of two files, the description and the bird list.
I have uploaded a lot of images to the Gallery here (and a few more to come), I have plans of replying with links to some of those as we come along.
An updated version of the bird list is found in post 8 in this thread
Cheers
Niels

And an excellent read it is, too. I was in most of these places in 2007, and it was good to have the memory refreshed. I wasn't in Torres del Paine, but spent three days at Antillaca in PN Pueyehe. Other than that, you seem to have pretty well followed my footsteps. I, too , goot the Many coloured Rush Tyrant at Batuco Wetlands in Estero Lampa. On the nearby Pilcopata Road we got Warbling Doradito and Long-winged Harrier. In El Yeso the road was clear, but we didn't try for Diademed Sandpiper Plover because we'd already got it in PN Lauca. Even though it was well into the austral spring in the Tropics, the streams were frozen.
What a coup the King Penguins were. Our biggest coup of the trip was on the Porvenir - Punta Arenas ferry. We were surrounded by huge numbers of Black-browed Albatross, which we estimated conservatively as 1400.
Thanks for sharing.
Alan.
