    Best time of year to visit Ecuador for a month or so?

    Hello Ecuador birders, I gather December to April is the best time weather wise but what about for birding? Are there any preferred times? I'm guessing January to March because of Northward Migration? I've not planned a Galapagos trip due to the expected expense but could easily visit...

    Feeding Red Kites with meat on a string?

    I hadn't thought about that. I just asked the witness and he said yes, the guy had a camera. I had forgotten about the length these idiots go to to show off online.

    Feeding Red Kites with meat on a string?

    The person who saw it wondered if it was a poisoning attempt, but usually someone would leave the meat somewhere on the ground as you say. It's very odd.

    Feeding Red Kites with meat on a string?

    Has anyone ever seen anyone feeding Red Kites with meat on a string in Hertfordshire? Reports are that the birds disappeared after this event but the facts aren't all in yet. I've never heard of this apart from when falconers train and display there captive birds.

    Which field guide? Visiting Mumbai and the South

    The bird groups are largely non responsive. The most common activity is posting photos on which no one comments and seemingly they are posted without any particular reason.

    Hello all, I bought Sasol on pdf for kindle but it's not really a field guide, only one bird per page - seems as if it would be very hard to use. Can someone tell me please, which is the best one for Southern Africa (Namibia, Botswana included if possible). Thanks
