    Arunchal Pradesh/Mishmi hills Nov 2022

    We had a trip to Mishmi booked with North East Birding Tours and then the borders closed whilst we were in AP due to Covid, so we had to head home before making it over to the Mishmi area. Nilutpal at NEBT got us a full refund sorted via transferwise. Took a couple of months, but he kept in...

    Accommodation Semliki NP

    I stayed at the Vanilla Hotel, Bundibugyo in 2006. Maybe not one for the family, though it beat going back to Fort Portal for us. Worth checking security situation given it's close to the border. There was quite a lot of military around during our stay, and it was quite noisy at night. On...

    RFI southeast Europe targets

    Hi Larry, I have also seen Rock Partridge at Dubrovnik Airport area and agree with Duncan it is probably one of the most accessible sites. Check from the road up to this restaurant and also the Ronald Brown Walkway heading down hill from near there. I also saw it in a couple of places in...

    Zimbabwe updates?

    Sorry, Andy, totally missed this question til now!! Yes, went in Dec last year, had great views of about 5 Pittas displaying on the morning we were at Masoka Camp with Makenzie. In the end they turned out to be pretty straightforward (for a Pitta) if you can hit that early arrival and display...

    Uganda/Rwanda

    Hi Ross, Sounds great. I would consider the Kirimia River Trail in Semuliki NP if you have the time and it's accessible in terms of safety. We had Grey-ground Thrush (only gone down as a probable on views, but Im sure it was a pair that responded to playback by flying at us after we flushed...

    Peru June 2019

    Some great advice from Temmie, and his trip report on cloudbirders is excellent. We used it extensively in March 2018. For Polylepis forest we stopped at the patch linked by Temmie, and saw White-cheeked Cotinga there from the edge of the forest patch by walking up the steep slope. DSP was at...

    Norway (& Finland) - The Re-return - 2019

    I was out there with Duncan (DMW) the other week, doing a similar trip to Pete's, and it was a great long weekend. The ducks were great, and the owls, and winter bird feeders. Maybe Im biased being a seabird fan, but the real highlight of the trip was the visit to Hornoya, a wildlife...

    Birding in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Zambia

    Hi Josh, Your plan sounds sensible. Do the most touristy bits (Botswana, Vic Falls etc) with the family and then do the rest in the remaining time. On Mozambique, maybe seek the advice of local South African/Zim/Moz birders on the current situation there; that armed robbery may have been...

    Zimbabwe updates?

    AFRICAN PITTA in Masoka Area Some update contact details for Mackenzie at Masoka Village: +263 77 980 7261 - I would probably avoid the email address and the best way to contact is probably via whatsapp. Another good option for the Masoka area is to use the services of local bird guides Derek...
