Photo Gallery record shots (Argentine species)

Although I'm not a photographer I like carrying a "bridge" camera when I guide and, if I got time (because my priority is to show the birds to the people I guide), I try taking pictures to remember the birds and the great moments that we share while birding. I also like digiscoping with my phone through the spotting scope when possible. 

Here are some pictures taken by me in some of my guiding trips within Argentina:

Wildlife Photo Gallery

Here is my first photo gallery , with images taken with my also first wildlife photography gear (a Nikon Z 50 II with a Nikkor Z 400mm f/4.5), which I bought in September 2025. It is arranged per year and per month, hoping that it can show an increase of quality, as I learn how to photograph in manual mode, and how to edit raw file pictures (to see my very first photos, check out my previous post here ). 2025   October South American Sea Lion with a stalking Snowy Sheathbill (Necochea, Argentina) A happy Southern Elephant Seal pup (Necochea, Argentina) Talas Tuco-tuco in Cariló (Argentina) Vermilion Flycatcher habitat in General Conesa (Argentina) Dolphin Gull portrait in Ancud (Chile) November Tawny-throated Dotterel in its habitat (El Calafate, Argentina) Burrowing Parakeets in Las Grutas (Argentina) Snowy Sheathbill in the Beagle Channel (Argentina) Fuegian Cinclodes in the Beagle Channel (Argentina) Leopard Seal in Parry Fjiord (Chile) December Streamer-tailed Tyrant right bef...

Finally, wildlife photography

Disclaimer: I am not the person in the photo, I'm just the photographer who took this photo Yes, after many years (all my life?), I finally decided to go on, buy me a decent camera gear, and start with wildlife photography . In fact, the reason why I started guiding, more than 15 years ago, was to save money to buy me a camera with which I could start a career on professional wildlife photography... or that's what I thought at the time. It didn't take long until I realized that becoming a professional birding guide was indeed what I wanted to do, and I used the money that I earned while guiding, to buy newer and better birding gear, better binoculars, my first spotting scope, then even better binoculars, plus my second and third (and fourth, and it kept going) spotting scopes... Until the idea of getting into serious photography became more of a "retirement hobby". Something it was not going to happen any time soon. And then came September 2025 . Together with a ...

Mammal watching in Argentina

Orca in north east Patagonia (Argentina) Mammal Watching in Argentina (& Southern South America) Mammals are naturally harder to see in the wild than birds, but for that reason many times there is little effort involved in trying to see them on purpose. In the end this works like a self-accomplished prophecy, because little effort leads to poor results. I have always liked watching mammals (together with birds and fish, they are my "favorite" groups of vertebrates) but only recently started thinking of them as targets during a trip rather than incidental sightings while birding. And in 2022 I checked my notebooks and found out that my total lifelist of mammals seen in Argentina (alive and in wild conditions, not counting domestic species such as Llama and Water Buffalo) was 101 species, which was not bad considering the total number recorded in this country (about 400). Living in Patagonia and working for a marine biology institute on board fishing vessels I was able to w...
