Last trip (looking for orchids & birds) to the Western Andes Choco highlands of Colombia, including also a bit of Cauca Valley and a couple of C Andes spots, plus the lowlands of Uraba near the Choco, yielded a couple of much sought after birds for me:

* Comb Duck (Sarkidiornis melanotos), that is a quite rare bird in Colombia and not often found. Cauca Valley mainly. Been seen here a couple of years ago, quite intermittently, but I could not connect with these guys before (amazing shots from friends at http://www.flickr.com/photos/26175334@N02/6418375433/)!... see attached photo of my birds ;-)

* Barred Hawk (Leucopternis princeps), one of the raptors I wanted to see most and have just not being able to visiting several locations where it occurs in Colombia. Got several nice individuals, singing and soaring above our heads... loved it!... see attached photo of my lifbird ;-)

Last 3 Lifers from Pemba Island, Tanzania

Pemba Green Pigeon
Pemba White-eye
Pemba Sunbird

You'll need to read my trip report to see if I got the fourth Pemba Endemic.
;)
 
My latest 3 on my Saudi list were:

Egyptian vulture
Barbary falcon
Mangrove reed warbler

All were seen north of Jeddah. The last two are also lifers.

My Saudi list is now 264 and I just starting to think I can reach 336 sometime in the future which is the highest Saudi total I can find.
