    Dusky-Faced Tanager, Panama

    Hi Gander, Just happened to be watching for a few minutes earlier today, and am fairly sure I saw that same bird you describe. It looked like an immature male Flame-rumped Tanager to me (female like overall, but with black blotches on the underparts). https://ebird.org/species/flrtan1

    Hi Andy, Keeping well considering the lock-down situation. Hope you're the same. I had heard something about this trip, but hadn't seen this BF link. Unfortunately work-wise late January doesn't suit me for a trip. Haven't heard anything on possibility off P. Harrison 's new seabirds book...

    Taita Falcon stake out at JD Strijdom tunnel: still reliable?

    They are back! We saw a bird there in January last, at least. Apparently there was a pair attending a nest high up on the cliff late in 2018, but we only saw one bird (good scope views) sitting on the cliff in January. Local on site guide Michael, who you'll find at the curio stalls there...

    Got a copy myself alright from NHBS during the sale. I have noticed since that PostScript Books still have it currently listed for £25, so you might still get a cheap copy:t: https://www.psbooks.co.uk/Birds-of-the-High-Andes

    Lens repair Ireland

    Hi John, You could try this place in Rathmines, Dublin. They did a good job repairing a Canon 7D for me a year or so ago, at reasonable cost, and were recommended to me at the time. I see they do lenses too. http://camerarepaircentre.com/contact_us Best regards, Aidan

    Birds of Argentina

    I placed a pre-publication order for this from Bookdepository on 24 September 2009, expecting it to be published shortly after this! Admittedly at €27.88 pre-paid it was a good price. But I did not expect to be waiting almost 8 years and counting.:-C Aidan
