    Hi Sam. I hope that you don't mind me contacting you, and that you actually see this, as it looks like you're not a regular on birdforum. I saw that you were interested in finding a birding guide in San Jose del Guaviare. Did you have any luck and if so do you have any contact info or...

    What to do with 7 days around Bogota?

    I'm in the middle of planning three weeks in Colombia in July/August. We have different budgets but I did find this that has me interested, especially if we end up having a couple of days in Bogotá before heading home. https://www.gobirdingcolombia.com/day-tours-bogota I imagine the prices...

    RFI Birding break in Colombia

    Thanks both. Here I was thinking that it was just me, COTR and PG tips :) EBird was going to be my next port of call for Palmari Lodge and most other places. We'll be carrying three weeks worth of luggage so an extra field guide is not ideal :) Monserrate is on the radar. We arrive around...

    RFI Birding break in Colombia

    This might seem like a stupid question (a friend of mine used to say "there are no stupid questions, only stupid people" so make of that what you will). I've been studying the Lynx guide for Colombia quite a lot recently and have realised (remembered) that some species have quite rigid range...

    Birding accommodation close to Leticia

    I've messaged Otto to see what he suggests and whether he's available for guiding.

    Birding accommodation close to Leticia

    Great idea, Avery. I'm beginning to think that we might linger a bit longer in the area.

    RFI Birding break in Colombia

    Thanks Avery. I'll do some extra research into those areas.

    RFI Birding break in Colombia

    I thought I might as well update this thread as well as the new one that I've posted, in case anyone is interested. We've booked at Palmari Lodge, as recommended in Cajanuma's initial reply. We're actually going in July, contrary to my expectations. We were surprised to find out that the brother...

    Birding accommodation close to Leticia

    Morning all. We've taken the plunge and booked our COVID-delayed birthday trip (for my partner - she's had two birthdays since) to Colombia. We arrive in the 2nd half of July and we're heading for a reserve/lodge in Brazil for several nights. We fly into Leticia (Colombia) and it's then a 4-5...

    Autumn Passage, 2023, Catalunya

    Just a final note. I've finally had a look at the photos of the possible Collared Flycatcher from 23rd September. As expected, they're awful because the bird was quite some distance away and I've seen nothing that has been indicative that my initial ID was correct, so it will need to go down as...

    Autumn Passage, 2023, Catalunya

    Monday 23rd October I would have liked an earlier start than we eventually managed but we were at the delta by about 9 a.m. and after a quick breakfast in Camarles our first real stop was near Finca de Bombita on the road running northwest from the T-340 at the roundabout by Parc Deltaventur...

    Autumn Passage, 2023, Catalunya

    Also for the 21st, the archaeological site was pretty good for butterflies. We saw at least 6 species, most of them in good numbers. Apart from Clouded Yellows and a couple of Geranium Bronzes that we didn't get a photo of, we'll need to inspect the images to get positive IDs. Sunday 22nd...

    Autumn Passage, 2023, Catalunya

    Additionally a lone and very tired looking Chaffinch and a Sparrowhawk high up and looking like it had somewhere to be went over Valls shortly before sunset.

    Autumn Passage, 2023, Catalunya

    Friday 20th October Arrived at Reus airport just before 4 p.m. A few hirundines at the air were mostly swallows but I think we saw a couple of House Martins through the windows whilst queueing for passport control. Saturday 21st We're staying at Las Masies near L'Espluga de Francoli at the...

    Autumn Passage, 2023, Catalunya

    Saturday 23rd (continued) Parc de la Ciutat - Chiffchaff - two or three present and calling. Sub-alpine Warbler - the commonest passerine in the small part of the park that I covered (essentially a couple of large trees to the left of the main (uphill) entrance close to some low ruined...
