    Live Cornell Lab Panama webcam: Canopy Lodge

    Hi all, 'my' Bananaquit was independent of the ones on the twitter feed and I'm certain about my Mourning Warbler now since I scrolled back (but unable to make a screen capture). The House Wren looked good to me, especially since I'm hearing it regularly (see my previous posts). PS you have...

    Live Cornell Lab Panama webcam: Canopy Lodge

    Hi all, can anyone explain why this is SO damned addictive?! I only found out about the cam ten days ago and this thread even more recently. I've seen 17 of the 'official' 25 species so far but am pretty sure I also saw a Bananaquit in the flowers very briefly (I can't remember when). Also, of...

    Malta birding

    Hi John, I love birding on Malta. By far the best place to go is Ghadira Nature reserve, right next to Ghadira bus stop (buses to Mellieha or Crikewwa). It is only open to the public on Sat+Sun though. Have a look here - https://birdlifemalta.org/nature-reserves/ For your target species...

    General Gambia info

    Hi Cheshire, the finfoot has gone I'm afraid. There is a Hadada Ibis around the swamp behind Badala Park though which seems to have been there for a while and we saw 4 African Pygmy-Geese at Kartong wetland. As it was my first time, it's hard for me to gauge what is difficult and what not but...
