For the final time we left the Plancius and headed into Ushuaia. It was not a particularly exciting morning, grey and drizzly. We had a flight early afternoon, so first went for a drink at a coffee shop in Ushuaia with a few of the guys from the ship, before they headed off for their respective flights.
Before we headed to
the airport I returned to the lagoon near Ushuaia, hoping that the Red Shovelers
that according to eBird data were supposed to be common there might have finally
turned up. It took a bit of time, but we eventually walk round far enough and
managed to pick out a smart pair of these ducks among the rafts of Yellow-billed
Teals and Crested Ducks. It was a relief, and the final tick of our Tierra del
Fuego adventure.
The flight to Buenos
Aires from Ushuaia was fairly uneventful, as was the evening we spent in the
city. Obviously a disappointing end to our Oceanwide adventure, but it was
still a relief to have the option to come to the warm sunny capital rather than
Ushuaia!
