In addition to penguins, there are many other interesting birds to be found in the Falklands. This is one of the more colorful — the long-tailed meadowlark. On Carcass Island, the smaller birds are fairly tame because there are no ground predators like foxes or rodents. I was able to get some out-of-focus yellow gorse in the background as this guy sang a song to whoever was listening.

Hi Michael.
First off, I’m terribly sorry if I’ve offended you in any way. My comment about the bird being an asshole was merely a joke. I’m a close personal friend of Sean Crane’s and one of his biggest fans. I think every photo he takes is absolutely amazing. And he knows this as well.
Please don’t take my joke personally, and please don’t make the focus of his blog about this little misunderstanding. Thanks.

Perched on a wee branch —- Wind ruffling feathers no beasts to fear —- I sing because I ‘m free .
Gorgeous depth of field and the bird does look like his north American cousin in shape.
This bird looks like an asshole.
Interesting observation Shardae. I think I can see where you’re coming from, but in all honesty, he was a rather nice guy.
