Yesterday I saw my first Egyptian Goose at a pond whilst on a Bus Tour in Brussels. Sadly I didn't bring my Binoculars or notebook but I will write it down when I get back.

Chestnut-throated Seedeater, Sporophila telasco

I ticked 66 life birds in Peru in October and November, including a Chestnut-throated Seedeater, Sporophila telasco, at Refugio de Vida Silvestre Los Pantanos de Villa, in Lima on the last day, November 5, 2019.

Carlos Chuquilín of IKAM Expeditions led Patricia and I on a stunning trip across the Andes, from Chiclayo to Moyobamba.

The usually ultra-shy Copper Pheasant at Karuizawa, Japan on 29th November - and one of my top birding targets - was superseded by an ultra-tame Japanese Night Heron back in Hong Kong just a few days later.

My satnav made heavy weather of finding Prestwick Carr.
