Falkland Islands on New Years Day I was walking on the hill overlooking where I shot the Upland Goose. These little fellas kept popping up from their burrows and as soon as you started to move towards them - gone in a puff!
I laid down flat on my stomach, and used my backpack as a support and waited for the pop up. When the Magellanic appeared I quickly repositioned so that the head was surrounded by the darker foliage - enjoy!
