However, the archipelago has also been familiar to wider world birders for years, due to a spectacular set of endemic species/subspecies confined to the islands-currently standing at around 44, many of which are both extremely-endangered, and very local. The state has widened its appeal to North American birders since 2017, with its...

Taiwan: Birding with a Camera® - Video Trip Report
Переглядів 8424 місяці тому
Taiwan is one of the world’s most underexposed ecotourism destinations. The Taiwanese explore their island in droves, but westerners tend to think of it as a concrete megalopolis with little wilderness. Nothing could be further from the truth, with some 60% of the original forest cover remaining, making Taiwan one of the wildest and least altered lands on Earth - a stark contrast to many of its...

It is no secret that some of the very best European birding is offered in Spain; many know of the bird-rich southern areas of Extramadura and Andalucia, which are covered on our Southern Spain Tour. What is less well known is that the northeast of Spain also offers fantastic birding all of its own, and of a very different nature to that tour. This tour runs immediately after our Spain Introtour...

    Great Video! Can you tell me a little more about your Bwindi birding itinerary? You mentioned a hike to a swamp? Also, do you mind sharing a little more about your QENP itinerary as well? My wife and I are heading out to Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania in 10 days. In Uganda we're going to Murchison Falls, Semuliki, Kibale, QENP, Mburo Lake and Bwindi. Thanks!

    Minute 11.10 Andres mentions the endemic Lava Gull snd mistakenly states that it feeds at night (wrong) it is our other endemic Gull the Swallow-tail Gull that feeds at night.

    Great birding hotspots and a great excursion it seems. I was just in Australia for family vacation, although our budget not afford me a dedicated tour, I like to share 2 locations I visited as day trip and netted 45 birds: Oxley Creek common in Brisbane and Garigal N. Park in Sydney. However, l love your type tour I might return one day just for birding. Thanks again!

    For me, this format is preferable to the one you used to use a few years ago. The ones with long slide shows and no video (other than the narrator in the corner) were easy to click away from. I watch these newer ones all the way through, and sometimes more than once.

    i live and birdwatch in Taiwan for all of my life, and i also do some tour from time to time(local kids and family birding tour tho, very different from what you do), this is a great video a thing i may add feeding and call playback is not accepted by most local birders, is an auto disqualification in most competition, is illegal under multiple law, and people do get into trouble for doing it but it is very helpful for foreign birder and bird guide if you only have a few days, so if come to Taiwan, don't do it publicly or post photo on Taiwanese birding forum or group, will get a lot of heat if you do

    Daniel, humans carelessly moving the exotic species around the globe example the Black Bass was the main cause in your Grebe species going extinct. All species of Northern Americas black Bass are serious predator on surface dwelling prey and gorge on water foul chicks. Ultimately Homo sapien over population is the cause for every problem you have as an individual encounter daily well as for every other living species Flora, Fauna or Funga on the planet. The prime example the deforestation of your lovely counties West coastal forest to raise cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, vegetables or what ever is the direct cause of the loss of forest and its precious species in order to feed the mass number of Humans. We have the same problem in our country USA. Heck it is almost ever countries problem. Jim Rodgers

    Very interesting! You missed one of the premier birding locations (close to Frog Heaven) called Tico Rainforest B&B. Victor has documented over 220 different species on his property and has set up a wonderful photographic site on the balcony of his house. I have no personal connection to the site, but have visited here every year for the past 10 years.
