    Belize/Guatemala/Honduras - March

    Indeed, work restrictions mean this is about the maximum I can do, though in fact, due to not getting much interest early on, we have postponed and hope to run this at a similar time next year so anyone who would be interested for March/April 25 let me know. Cheers, Robert

    Trystan's 2022 World List

    21st August Currently no means of transport but looking at what has been available against what I picked up on the last day out and this one, again relying on a lifts, I think I've probably only lost out on a couple of species by way of Stilt & Pectoral sandpipers, and still waiting on Water...

    Owen's lifetime of wildlife in a year.

    Yes, I had planned to get the large blue last year but the red necked stint in Northumberland affected my plans, and I've missed the spotted skipper a couple of years ago due to bad timing with the weather. They all require a bit of a trek for me. For black hairstreak, you can be lucky and get...

    Trystan's 2022 World List

    25th June Gruelling travel day with delays on both flights and road closures on the drive home in the small hours but an unexpected Polish tick at the airport (Since I seem to have gotten a bit obsessive over keeping a list for each country I visit, however briefly), a pair of wheatears back...
