  • The Redwing (blown aground) in West Point Harbour. This boat belonged to one of the FIGAS pilots who was killed in a plane crash. It now lies here in his memory.<br />
West Point Island. Off of West Falkland. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
An island owned by Roddy and Lily Napier who have lived there for most of their lives. It is a small sheep farm with about 1,000 sheep and some cattle but now they survive mainly on tourism with several cruise ships visiting during the summer. The island is renowed for its huge Black-browed Albatross Rockhopper Penguin colonies.

  • Striated Caracara or Johnny Rook (Phalcoboenus australis)<br />
West Point Island. Off of West Falkland Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
Usually quite tame and very curious towards man. Rarely take prey on the wing using instead its ability to run and grasp penguin chicks and eggs and small petrels with its powerful feet and claws. Also feed on insects, molluscs and carrion. Can survive during critical winter periods on excreta of Gentoo penguins and fur seals.  They nest on cliff edges, under large rock slabs or on the top of a tussock grass clump, often close to the seabird colonies on which they prey.<br />
RANGE: Falkland Islands where it is largely restricted to offshore tussock islands like Jason Island group, Beauchene and Sea Lion Island, Islets of Cape Horn and some islands off the south west coast of Chile as far north as Isla Tarlton.<br />
NEAR THREATENED due to small population and restricted range.<br />
Less than 1000 birds exist.
