We (Mike Buckland, David Walker, Gillian Hollamby and my self) arrived In Ushuaia Tierra Del Fuego on the evening of 18th November. With a little day light left we had a look around the harbour before getting a meal. In the harbour several Southern Giant Petrels, Imperial Shags, Kelp Gulls, Dolphin Gulls and Rufous Collared Sparrows which were very common.

In the morning of 19th a guide picked us up and we drove up to the bottom of the ski lift to the Martial Glacier. Walking up the hill we found Austral Thrushes, House Wrens, Black Chinned Siskins, a Thorn Tailed Rayadito, Chimango Caracara's, White Crested Elaenia's, Patagonian Sierra Finches and more R.C.Sparrows.
At the base of the Glacier despite some hard trekking in strong winds and sleet showers and finding plenty of fresh pellets we failed to find our main quarry White Bellied Seedsnipe. As recompense we did find Yellow Bridled Finch, Bar Winged Cinclodes, Dark Faced Ground Tyrant and Ochre Naped Ground Tyrant.
