    Birding events and birding location in Munich

    Hello and Welcome, directly inside Munich Schlosspark Nymphenburg should be a good birding start for commoner species. Depending on your mobility, the Ismaninger Speichersee is closeby to the city. If you can go a little bit further, Ammersee is very nice and if you can go a little bit...

    Recent Suriname Experience

    I wonder if anyone here had a recent Suriname experience, as we are planning to go in early 2025. Trip reports are found on the regular pages but mainly pre covid time.

    Amazon / Yasuni birding

    We did a budget Amazon entry and unguided in the Puerto Misahuallí area. Of course you are not getting as many Amazon specialities as in the more remote areas but you pay around 1/10 of what you pay in the top lodges and it is easy accessible by car or public transport without having to rely on...

    Small island birding

    Id think about Cozumel. You get Migration, You have beautiful birds, and best of all Mexican food and lifestyle.

    The bird you’ve seen in the most countries?

    Great Egret and Barn Swallow are in Front for me. From a more rarer perspective Capian Tern makes an appearance which I saw at least in 13 countries on 5 continents.

    Kenya - Masai Mara 2

    1) Chinspot Batis 2) Brown-crowned Chagra, Black crowned would have a solid black head, the hooked Bill is a good indicator where to look it up. 3) Yes 4) Yes 5) A Wheatear, Isabelline and Northern are options. This looks more like a Northern to me 6) Should be Rufous naped Lark. 7) A Pipit Id...

    Kenya - Urban Nairobi

    1) I think Abyssinian Thrush is the only Thrush of this Complex in Nairobi. 2) Common Bulbul 3) You are correct 4) Cisticolas. Iam not experienced enough to give a definitive ID here but Rattling or Winding Cisticola are usually contenders.

    Ecuadorian Amazon September 2022

    Thank you for your input. I think Mottle backed Elaenia might be a good call, we saw a couple of them.

    Ecuadorian Amazon September 2022

    We saw this bird around Tena in Ecuador. I have no clue, probably shot is too bad for a positive ID but any direction would be good. Thanks in advance.

    Ecuador eastern slope birding

    Guango and San Isidro are quite expensive, worth the money, but certainly not a low budget birding. For the Cosanga area, you can stay at Cabanas Tamiaju. They have some good forest on their grounds and are close to the guacamayos ridge. For the amazon basin you could get an accomodation in or...

    Uganda July 2018

    Day 9) Transfer to Entebbe On our next day, we would leave Uganda and the drive back to Entebbe held a lot of the more common species we encountered during our stay in this beautiful country. We could still add 2 more species with African Wooly-necked Stork and Black-crowned Chagra en route. We...

    Day 8) Kibale Today was Chimpanzee Tracking. And while it was also nice to see and experience the chimps it does not have the same vibe as the gorillas. Chimps are loud and chaotic. They live in large groups and are not really paying attention to us “visitors” in their forests. The walk to the...

    Uganda July 2018

    Day 5) Transfer to Queen Elizabeth Nationalpark Today contained a long transfer through Bwindi downhill to Queen Elizabeth National Park. We did some stops inside the forest, where we could spot a pair of Mountain Wagtail and a Cassin`s Flycatcher at a small river. We also found a mixed...

    Day 4) Gorilla Trecking and Birding afternoon We started early, arriving around dawn at the start of the gorilla trekking. We saw some birds here including Black-tailed Oriole and a flying Mountain Buzzard. This was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced in my life. The whole process...
