I got a really good idea of how he birds, his daily expectations and how he keeps his costs down. He is an exceptional birder in the Americas with an incredible knowledge of sounds, he really helped me in my first few days there, I guess he was running out of birds by now as he pretty well cleaned up in Ecuador and had a good run in Colombia before he joined up with me so was able to afford more time getting me onto my lifers....  :t:His stamina will obviously be tested as the early starts must eventually take a toll but upto now he seemed fresh in the mornings and woke up with a fresh determination and excitement of what the day will bring. Apart from his obvious love of birds the other thing that came across (and does from his blog) is the appreciation of meeting the extraordinary people from all over the world and all walks of life who have an appetite for the care of birds and those that share their knowledge and experiences for other people to enjoy.  Top Bloke.Just thought I would add a few images to this thread1.
