    Calling tourists stupid is your perogative Malen, in the Falklands however they are welcome, perhaps for all the attractions of the continent that is something they enjoy that that is not provided there.

    Of course you can watch birds in Argentina. And get abused by idiotic teenagers who call you 'stupid tourists'.

    We are nice to our tourists because they spend lots of money and appreciate our country and our culture, and they come in their thousands to do just that. We don't turn their boats away because they looked at us the wrong way.
    And then they go away and tell all their friends what a great place this is and how different we are from Argentina.

    Malen, in case you didn't know, bird watching tourism generates about US$550 million per year in Argentina, so don't knock it, a lot of people here make a good living from bird watching!!!!
