A bit of wildlife whilst off the beaten track...
Did about 30 miles of overland/off-road around the north-east tip of East Falkland this weekend - some of the most challenging I've ever done, but managed not to get stuck once, despite a few particularly soggy bits. Here's a short clip of some of the approach to see some spectacular wildlife:
Also saw these two on the trip, amongst many others:

It's a Canon EOS40D - few years old, but still takes cracking photos - makes me look like I know what I'm doing
I'll try and copy some across later - just need to pop back into work now

Incredible photos! Stunning weather and amazing wildlife. Consider me jealous. Trying to plan a trip for the summer and this has definitely given me some ideas, not sure I'll get to such an exotic setting though....
