On our morning walks we have seen a great variety of sea birds and waders. Some are similar to those at home – oystercatchers, sanderlings, cormorants, whimbrel and curlews while some are unlikely to be seen on the Flaggy shore – Peruvian Pelicans, Snowy Egret, black-backed stilts, sandpipers, brown skua, lesser yellow legs, southern lapwings and a flock of Roseate Terns.
We also saw a couple of turkey vultures feasting on a dead seal along with a small raptor ( still to be identified) tucking into a dead Humboldt Penguin. All this in the space of a couple of hours on the beach!
