Upland Goose or Magellan Goose (Chloephaga picta leucoptera). This is one of the most conspicuous birds in the Falklands, feeding in abundance on short grasslands throughout the islands. Whilst it prefers short grass for grazing, it favours denser growth for nesting, lining the hidden nest with vegetation and breast feathers. This subspecies is restricted to the Falklands, being slightly larger than its South American counterpart.
