Travellingbirder....?? (1 Viewer)

Ouch, Travelling Birder seems to be down again. Hadn't visited in a while, but kind of needed it now. Also, my own trip reports were on there and are now no longer findable on the internet. Time to find a new place, then...

Hi,

Very sad to se travellingbirder down again, hope the problem gets solved!

Meanwhile, if anyone wants to post trip reports at other sites as well, you're very welcome to use Club300's trip report site (it countains about 800 trip reports, many in English):

http://www.club300.se/Travel/

Just e-mail the reports (preferably pdf:s) to [email protected]

The site instructions are is in Swedish, but should be easy enough to navigate since the names of the countries are very similar in most cases. We are planning to redo the site, inlcluding an English version.

Cheers!
Markus

It seems, that the site might be resurrected at some point, as the people behind netfugl.dk have been in contact with travellingbirder-admin, to see what can be done. Debate, in Danish, here .

Fingers crossed!

Would it be difficult to just bundle the reports and make them avialable as .zip files?

Does any one know if there has been any luck in making the files available again? It would seem quite a sad loss of many interesting trip reports.

Does anybody has news regarding travellingbirder.com? It is still not working. Time for a new initiative?
Best wishes, Sander

We also welcome any wildlife-based trip reports on Safaritalk.net we're not just limited to Africa there..

I'm a little mystified at how a resource like travellingbirder, which seems to have been used by virtually all recent independent (non-tour company) world birders, can disappear and there is zero information (that I've seen) on why it happened or if it is correctable. Surely the site owners must have said something to someone. I for one would have happily paid a small subscription fee, but I guess its too late for that. Is there any consensus at all among the publishers of trip reports about the best alternative?

 

[rosbifs]

perhaps they were paid off or decided to set up their own birdwatching tour guide company with all the info they had.

should add don't mean that nor any inference of any wrong doings....

Are there any updates on this situation or should we all now assume that a resource of this kind will never be resurrected?
