Solo birder in Ecuador- finding group tours/companions for Quito day trips?
I am travelling to Ecuador next month for work but I will have a few days in Quito by myself afterwards and I would like to take a day trip to either Antisana/Pallapacta/Yanococha to see the condors etc. All the tour options I am seeing are private and understandably charge a high premium for...- rosajd

Dalmatian Pelican photography
The breeding season of Dalmatian Pelican approaches. Can't wait to see and photograph these amazing birds again. It is a shame that these birds are still killed for people to make bags from the birds' pouches. I suppose this could be a reason for the very high conservation priority status of...- dancho_hristov

Scops Owl
Scops owls are active at night but occasionally we see them during the day at their roosting sites. There is a site in Bulgaria where I often take birders to see this marvelous bird in day light. It is quite an experience.- dancho_hristov

Melnik, Bulgaria
The past weekend was rather suitable for a longer walk. This time I traveled to SW Bulgaria where sand pyramids have overtaken the landscape. The significant Mediterranean climate was a precondition for a few good birds: Subalpine Warblers, Alpine Swift, Sombre Tit, Red-rumped Swallow and a few...- dancho_hristov

Tristram's Starling
The whistling call of Tristram's Starlings echoes in the wadis of Southern Oman making them enjoyable to see. A group of birds let me approach them down to a few metres after a pleasant camping. I was rather dark at the bottom of the wadi but still managed to get a few shots.- dancho_hristov

Grey Partridge
Here is another image from my recent winter birding trip along the Black sea coast. There was a group of 17 partridges in the muddy field that could hardly walk because of the mud and they were often hopping along.

Bonelli's Eagle photography
Bonelli's Eagle is a usual bird to see in Oman. For the 10 day trip we had over 5 individuals at various places. This young individual must have eaten something fairly soon. It was a superb trip. Have a look at the checklist of birds seen on the most recent post on my blog here...- dancho_hristov
