So, you think YOU can fly........

As has been the trend over the past few years, adding extra days to do some birding whilst on business trips, this time South America. One sight I always wanted to see was the Andean Condor and got the chance on Thursday, 12 hours after arriving on the QF flight ex SYD. It was amazing to see such a magnificent bird flying with such grace. I grew up on the doco narrated by Andrew Sachs (Manuel from Fawlty Towers) and it was just as good. The pictures will be a great memory........

Great shots! I've been birding a lot in South America but I didn't see the condor.
