I've arrived in El Calafate to visit Los Glaciares National Park 50k away. There's not much in this town but I did find this pretty park and bird reserve with flamingos, ducks, black-necked swans and abundant birdlife. Adult flamingos are pink while the juveniles are white or grey with no black on their wings. They lay a single chalky white egg on a mud mound and both parents brood the young for up to 6 years until they reach sexual maturity. Their life expectancy of 40 years is one of the longest in birds.
