Hi Alan,
Nice one. Were they your finds? Are there many birders apart from yourself on the Falklands? I'm sure it must be an interesting place to do some birding. Looking forward to hearing more about your birding experiences on the island.
Regards Luke

Hi Luke,
Got a call to say that there was a swallow flying around a garden in Stanley got there to find them!!!
Heart Pounding time
Amazingly the same garden as the Falklands only record of
Brown Chested Martin about six years ago.
There are about six birders in the Islands so you have to work hard to find the goodies
cheers
Alan
