The Falkland Islands are known for penguins. But there are also a lot of geese. And when I say a lot, I mean it. Kelp geese, upland geese, and these guys, ruddy headed geese were everywhere. Always nice to get flight shots, and I captured this one late in the day on Carcass Island. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/8 at 1/500th of a second

What gorgeous birds, Sean! I must read up on Ruddy Headed Geese. Great job of capturing their tandem flight pattern.
