    Hoping you've had a response by now, but just in case you haven't - while planning my upcoming trip I've had much better luck with whatsapp than email. Rio Blanco can be reached at ‪+57 312 2261116

    Independent birding near Cusco

    Thanks very much Avery I'll have a read. In my limited experience is seems like people named Josh create a disproportionately high amount of useful neotropical birding material

    Independent birding near Cusco

    Hi all, making another post for my upcoming trip after all the helpful responses to previous threads. I’ve got some free time around Cusco and would love to do some independent birding. I’ve got a Machu Picchu trek planned and then some time going down the Manu road into the lowlands + Madre de...

    Mindo Lodges

    Hi, just related to this could I ask your opinion on self-driving, is that something you'd recommend? Is it doable to hit the places you mentioned driving in our own non 4x4 car, and okay with tolls / roadblocks etc?

    Five days birding trip in Extremadura

    Just chiming in to agree with @Dutch Birder on recommending the Crossbills guide, I've done a lot of the routes suggested in that and had a phenomenal trip. Do you have any target birds @andreabert ?

    Amazon / Yasuni birding

    Thanks so much Josh, incredibly useful as usual - I'll make some enquiries and drop Thierry a message. Out of curiosity do you know how Sandro is as a guide, I've got a quote from him and curious if others have birded with him before. with regards to Spanish, I speak decent functional Spanish...

    Spots near Glasgow for some spring birding (ideally Golden Eagle)

    Hadn't considered that at all, completely fair Ian. Ignoring the eagles, do you have recommendations for general spots in that case?

    Amazon / Yasuni birding

    Hi all, had excellent advice from various users wrt Colombia & Peru, which I've built into my trip plan - just a few questions when it comes to Ecuador. I'll be on the Eastern slopes probably November / December, and was wondering if anyone has any recommendation for tours / guides etc. when...

    Travel from Manizles to Santa Marta

    Hi Avery, unrelated to the thread but curious what you mean about Manizales being unreliable? I was planning on flying there but will re-route if you recommend!

    Spots near Glasgow for some spring birding (ideally Golden Eagle)

    Hi all, I've got a spare day in a few weeks in Glasgow and would love to drive out for some birding before heading south. I've repeatedly dipped Golden Eagle so would love to catch one, if anyone knows any spots near(ish) to Glasgow? Diver / Dotterel / any other specialties would also be great...

    Bluethroats Extremadura Spain

    I had some incredible Bluethroat views, maybe 4 or 5 birds in late May last year. I parked at Plataforma de Gredos and then walked on the path up to lagunas (easy walking, signposted). Birds were at about ~2100m elevation and very active in the morning. Picture attached from the same trip It's...
