    Uganda/Rwanda

    The road running through Nyungwe is open all the time. There is nothing to stop you from listening for the owl from the roadside. Probably far more realistic than trying to walk on a path at night! I'm sure the rangers at the park headquarters would be willing to help, for a fee. I doubt the...

    Cuba - guide and resort

    Just to add, Playa Larga is a beautiful destination in its own right. Good snorkelling at the Cueve place as well. I could happily spend a week or two there, even if Angel is only available for one day.

    Goa in June?

    Goa is seriously wet in June. A friend who over summered there says it is not good. How about further north, in the Himalayas? There are heaps of birds. India is a lovely country and generally very safe.

    Pied Crow near M’hamid yesterday

    That's great news Mohamed. Am I right in thinking that it is usually seen in the north east of town, on the right when you first enter the town? Thanks John

    Birdguides new system

    In addition I used to be able to search for 'warbler' to pick up all birds with that term, but now that has been banned. And the filter has to be turned on every time i want to use it.
