    Birding experiences in Europe/WPal

    I was recently thinking about birding experiences - those moments, places or events with birds that make you go "wow!" - and I was curious to hear what you think are the standout ones that can be had in Europe and/or the Western Palearctic. A few that came to mind... Displaying Cranes at Lake...

    Weekend near KL

    I need some Malaysia advice please. I'll be in KL for a work visit at the end of July, and will have 2 clear days for birding at the end (Friday evening to Sunday late afternoon). Where would you recommend I go? I'd prefer to cover one or two locations well, rather than whiz around trying to see...

    Perth & Brisbane (pre-conference trip, June 2017)

    While booking flights for a work trip to Brisbane, Australia, an interesting option popped up: a promotional fare with Etihad via Abu Dhabi and Perth. Having never been ‘down under’ before, the chance to visit two extremes of this island-continent was too good to pass up. Initially I was...

    Perth - Penguin Island

    I'll be in Perth in late June and was wondering if it's worth doing the Penguin Island tour at all? Although it doesn't stop on the island itself is there still a decent chance of seeing Little Penguins from the boat - and what else could I reasonably expect to see? Thanks for the info! :t: Joost

    San Diego IDs

    Did a quick sea watch at La Jolla this morning (20/05/2016) and was wondering whether the shearwaters are all Sooty at this time of year? They certainly looked right but a bit far out for a solid ID. Any local experience much appreciated! Second, I encountered an intriguing Phoebe in the South...
