BULL POINT Exploring Bull Point Not far from Fanny Cove House and continuing on to the tip of Bull Point lie large ponds, perfect for breeding waterfowl and wading birds. Regular inhabitants include Chiloë wigeon, speckled and silvery teal, silvery and white-tufted grebes, and black-necked swans. Coscoroba swans, cinnamon teals and red may occasionally be seen. There are a variety of beach types at Bull Point, ranging from smooth and sandy to rocky with interesting stack Normal and leucistic formations. In the shelter of Bull Roads harbour a large sand beach teems with gentoo penguins; and with some luck you may see a leucistic gentoo penguin or visiting king penguin. Magellanic penguins breed in burrows all around the coast, and Falkland steamer ducks and kelp geese are easily seen. Coastlines around the southernmost tip provide homes for white-rumped sandpipers, two-banded plovers, rufous-chested dotterels and Red magellanic and blackish oystercatchers. The coastal greens around Bull Point are grazing areas for ruddy-headed and upland geese. Small birds such as white-bridled finches, tussacbirds, long-tailed meadowlarks, dark- faced ground tyrants and Falkland thrushes are common, whilst the much larger striated caracaras and variable hawks can also be seen occasionally. Out to sea, both Peale’s and Commerson’s dolphins play in the surf. Orcas and baleen whales can be spotted in summer months. The tussac stands and rocky beaches at Porpoise and Tussac Points provide breeding habitats for southern sea lions. These can also be haul-out sites for both southern sea lions and southern elephant seals from neighbouring . Female sea lions pup in December to January.
