We expect to do some birding in Ushuaia before, and in Cape Verde after, the expedition. Are there any birders wanting to team up for Razo Lark on Cape Verde for example, or looking for White-bellied Seedsnipe near Ushuaia?

We are also booked in a treble so an opportunity for a single birder to join a keen sea birders' room!

And for other birders booked on the 2024 expedition to feel free to say hello on this thread

Be good if birders on the 2023 expedition could share their experiences and advice?

Many thanks

Mike

Here's the write-up of this year's AO.

Trip log | HDS34-23, Atlantic Odyssey | Oceanwide Expeditions

After a few sea days, everyone onboard could not wait to arrive in St. Helena. We could see the island appear from the horizon in early morning.

The boat to Razo for Razo Lark (from Sao Nicolau) is 700 Euros split between however many interested. Two of us so far.

The friend I was doing this trip with tragically died recently. I didn't want to do AO 2024 and other elements without him, it wouldn't be right, so I've pushed it back to 2025.

Early info on 2025. There is a strong birding contingent going from Sweden in 2025, and for those interested, Oceanwide is offering a 10% discount for early 2025 booking (making it less expensive than 2024).

I can't change the title to 'Atlantic Odyssey and Cape Verde: 23 March to 24 April 2025'. Is this something mods could do?

Thanks

Mike

Sorry to hear about your friend.

This trip is absolutely ultimate bucket list for me.

Unfortunately not possible for at least another 10 years as I have a busy young family.

Have a wonderful trip!

Oceanwide is doing some substantial discounts, up to 40% for some cabins, with an additional 10% discount for booking both legs of the Atlantic Odyssey.

An example of this is that two-berth cabins are significantly cheaper than the normal price of four-berth cabins.

Some of us are also looking for the mythical Fuegian Snipe en route to Ushuaia if of interest.

Cheers
