Recycling at its best...

The Chartres harbour is full of Terns this morning...shall pop back out when the light is a tad better...

We have had a visit from Jack Frost overnight...which has spoiled my plans of popping some flower seeds into the new flower bed.🤔

We spent the morning pulling down and moving old sheds to the rubbish dump... #winch #landrover #Falklandsstyle #Chartres

The ferry turning into Port Howard on the West Falklands..we had a quiet trip only three pax plus two vehicles which is very unusual...we departed 45mins early which is a bonus..😆

Ferry was empty this morning..we got away 45mins early..such a bonus...

Heading back to the farm this morning after a few busy days in Stanley...

The Magellanic penguins are slowly returning to the islands...

Quick visit this morning to Yorke Bay and Gypsy Cove..the morning turned out to be a nice one once the snow melted...

On the east for a few days as I have an appointment to see the visting optician...glad we travelled yesterday as we have had a light covering of snow overnight. It might have been "fun" towing the "box" if the roads are slippery..

Striated caracara...

Watching the sunrise while having my 1st cup of coffee.. #sunrise #azera #Falklandislands #coffee

Wonder what each bird is thinking!

Crested caracara and a Turkey Vulture.

Definitely signs of Spring....😁

We had a flight into Chartres this morning.. #FIGAS the local airline is a lifeline to the islands for moving pax and freight...

A young Turkey Vulture..
