    Belize/Guatemala/Honduras - March

    Indeed, work restrictions mean this is about the maximum I can do, though in fact, due to not getting much interest early on, we have postponed and hope to run this at a similar time next year so anyone who would be interested for March/April 25 let me know. Cheers, Robert

    I will be in and around Florence in September and this species continues to give me the slip. Does anyone have any good sites within 2 hours drive of Florence for the species? Thanks in advance. Rob

    Hi, My trip never went ahead. Costs prohibitive, was looking to use Ashanti tours, based in Ghana.

    21st August Currently no means of transport but looking at what has been available against what I picked up on the last day out and this one, again relying on a lifts, I think I've probably only lost out on a couple of species by way of Stilt & Pectoral sandpipers, and still waiting on Water...

    Owen's lifetime of wildlife in a year.

    Yes, I had planned to get the large blue last year but the red necked stint in Northumberland affected my plans, and I've missed the spotted skipper a couple of years ago due to bad timing with the weather. They all require a bit of a trek for me. For black hairstreak, you can be lucky and get...

    25th June Gruelling travel day with delays on both flights and road closures on the drive home in the small hours but an unexpected Polish tick at the airport (Since I seem to have gotten a bit obsessive over keeping a list for each country I visit, however briefly), a pair of wheatears back...
