Argentina Day 16 - Buenos Aries

Today was our last full day in Argentina and the plan was to spend the day in the fantastic Costanera Sur Reserve where over 100 species of bird are seen regularly in a day. To our horror when we arrived at the entrance the gates were locked and were to remain that way all day. We later found out that it was the first day of spring and the authorities had decided that due to this they would close the reserve to give the wildlife a respite from people, we had only one word to say - unbelievable.

All was not lost though as one lake was viewable from the promenade where a good selection of birds could be found including a few surprises and photo opportunities were good.
