    Birding at Kruger camps, South Africa

    For a trip in August, I plan to bird early mornings at the rest camps before the family stirs. Anyone recommend any specific areas of the camps at Skukuza at Satara, or is it a matter of just wandering around since they may not be as spread out as I expect? Any spots for owls at those camps...

    Cinnamon Hummingbirds and Yucatan Flycatchers in Quintana Roo

    Does anyone have any suggestions where to look for this species in areas around Felipe Carillo Puerto, Tulum, Coba or Muyil. I searched last time but never came across any and wonder if they are likely more local than I expected. I plan to target these this year :) Thanks, Julian

    Blakiston's at Yoroushi

    We are in Hokkaido in late Feb 2018. The Washi-No-Ya do site is booked up during our visit. We are booked at Yoroushi Springs a little further out than Rauso. Pricewise it is comparable, but the set up may not be as easy? I think we can pay to visit Washi, but due to the cold and unpredictable...
