Only one word for that: WOW!

Fantastic series of shots, maybe better than your India & South America photos

Bob

Amazing photos....3551em015445 3551em012445
Hope you can share the itinerary with us!!3551em011445

I've just seen this wonderful series.  What an experience that must have been.
Neil.

Looks like a very enjoyable trip.  May be good for an indoor meeting.
I think HKBWS should help our members to share information on foreign trips.  If you don't mind, we will ask you to get us some basic information on travelling later.

That Snipe looks very similar to Common Snipe.  The Short-eared Owl seems to be very different to what we have.  The one we have in this part of the world has yellow iris.

HF Cheung

thank you everyone for your appreciation. 3551d16c4689445

Chairman HF Cheung: just let me know what can i do for the society.  you are always welcome.

感謝上星期四到來室內講座的朋友. 我的行程是委託了 Falkland Islands Holidays 安排 : [url]http://www.falklandislandsholidays.com/index.cfm[/url]

他們很尊業. 安排得十分美滿. 令到行程得以順利完成. 從他們的網頁可得到很多資料.  我去年的行程如下 :

Thank you so much for attending the indoor meeting last Thursday (especially the one who could not understand Cantonese).  My itinerary in Falkland Islands as follows:

05 December 2009
Arrived in Pleasant International Airport via LAN (from Punta Arenas, Chile). Overnight in Stanley – Malvina House Hotel for 1 night (B&B)

06 to 08 December 2009
Internal FIGAS (Falkland Islands Government Air Service) flight to Pebble Island. Stayed for 3 nights (full board)

09 & 10 December 2009
Internal FIGAS flight to Saunders Island.  Stayed for 2 nights in Rockery (self-catering)

11 to 13 December 2009
Internal FIGAS  flight to Carcass Island.  Stayed for 3 nights (full board)

14 to 16 December 2009
Internal FIGAS flight to Sea Lion Island.  Stayed for 3 nights (full board)

17 December  2009
Internal FIGAS flight to Stanley.  Transfer to Malvina House Hotel for 2 nights accommodation (B&B).

18 December 2009
Full day excursion to Volunteer Point (King penguin colony)

19 December 2009
Flight from Mount Pleasant to Punta Areas, Chile

因一星期只有一班機從智利 Punta Arenas 飛到福克蘭群島的 Mount Pleasant . 所以行程一般都是一星期或兩星期.

There is only one flight to Mount Pleasant (Falkland Islands) from Punta Arenas (Chile) by Lan, as such, people can only stay there on a weekly basis.

以下還有一些 video . 當晚沒有足夠時間跟大家分享. 抱歉.  There are some more video to share with (which should have shown during the indoor meeting).  My apology for not properly managing the time.
