Barb's Travel Journal: Antarctica Birds

We had an avid birder, Dick Byrne, among the group. With his help I was able to spot and identify several Antarctic birds.

• Adelie penguin
• Chinstrap penguin
• Gentoo penguin
• Macaroni penguin
• Wandering albatross
• Black-browed albatross
• Gray-headed albatross
• Southern giant petrel
• Southern fulmar
• Cape petrel
• Snow petrel
• Blue petrel
• Wilson's storm petrel
• Black-bellied storm petrel
• Antarctic blue-eyed shag
• Brown skua
• Kelp gull
• Antarctic tern
• Snowy sheathbill

'Seal & Penguin Coasts' is an exciting new development planned for Bristol Zoo Gardens. The seals and the penguins are amongst the most-loved animals in the Zoo; unfortunately the present conditions that they live in were built almost seventy years ago and need replacing.
