Falklands 25
Three weeks in the Falklands, well-organised by Tracey Lund despite the breathtaking amateurism of the MOD Airtanker flights Brize Norton to Stanley. Sea lion Island was probably the best (certainly the most civilised), where I saw a gentoo chick entire life on day, from hatching to being taken away by a caracara. Then Saunders & Volunteer point. Lots of penguins - rockhopper, macaroni, gentoo, king and magellanic + albatrosses at Saunders. Rather spoiled by my shingles which came on day two. I decided not to evacuate for antivirals as perhaps I should as it’s taken more than 6 months to settle
