One good feature of being on a bike is that I am much closer to nature, I can hear and see birds. Mammals are fewer and further between than birds, so I was pleased to add a small group of South American fur seals to my ‘seen while bike training’ list this week. This group was feeding in among the kelp beds in Stanley harbour – or at least I assume they were feeding as they appeared to be attacking the water rather than each other. I have also added a further 26 bird species to my ‘seen while bike training list’!
