Message: <blockquote data-quote="Birding Peru" data-source="post: 1856916" data-attributes="member: 33111">Just found this thread, so sorry for the chipping in late. I have often wondered whether BIG DAY could actually be a business prospect. It certainly moves a lot of people. So here in Peru we are actually planing a commercial trip in September in which participants are practically guaranteed a big day of over 300 species. There will also be an attempt to beat Ted Parker and Scott Robinson's record of 331 species. Although, the trip is meant to be commercial, the idea is to promote the Amigos Research Station in SE Peru, which has enormous potential for birding but need more visitors to be able to fulfil the scientific goals of the station. We (Myself and local guides Alex Durand and Antonio Coral), will try for a Mega Big Day in September regardless whether we get punters for the trip or not.Contact me off the forum if interested.</blockquote>
