During our visit to Esteros del Ibera, as part of the Agentinian Mesopotamia trip in December 2022, we saw lots of different birds, and lots of birds for the second or the third or the forth time. Resulting in 100s of photos, of course. A selection of the best pictures is already included in the story I wrote about the trip, but I have many more, which I like to share. I am not an experienced ornitologist, don’t know much about birds, but enjoy watching them, for their colours and their often graceful movements. I have tried to find the right names for the pictures included, but by no means claim to be correct every time – so if you know better, do react to this post with improvements, and I’ll try to accomodate. For the rest, just enjoy the photos.
