    Lesser Antilles cruise

    https://stluciawildlife.com/component/k2/itemlist/category/7-our-tours These do ‘cruise ship specials’ on St Lucia. I used them for a morning’s birding (Vision was my guide) and got all the endemics in an hour and a half, but we were staying on the island for a week. I’m sure their cruise ship...

    Yellow-billed Magpie to the south of Morro Bay, though I didn't note the exact location, on our way south towards LA. This was in May. Might be Los Alamos Country Park, where they hop around your feet

    PS Blue Duck and Kea at Monkey Creek; Fiordland Crested in Milford Sound (sorry niko - although I did miss a few....not a dedicated birding trip).

    New Zealand endemics & birding trip

    ‘East Homer Tunnel will give you Kea and South Island Wren.’ Just a note of caution: the road to Milford Sound has been subject to ‘clearway’ restrictions for fear of avalanches (was there last week) so one couldn’t stop and park up at Homer Tunnel. Of course, the situation may have changed in...

    Estonia Advice

    There are those more experienced than me above, but would support Laheemaa for white-backed woody and hazel hen. Also, if you’re into ssp’s those of willow tit, jackdaw, nuthatch, herring gull etc are common. Easily reachable from Tallin.

    Sinharaja day trip

    http://www.birdwingnature.com/welcome.html You could try Amila via above. Whether he gets that far south as Hikkaduwa as a start point I am unsure but I have booked him for a day to Sinharaja in Feb starting from Ambalangoda, a little further north up the coast.

    Khao lak in January

    https://www.khaolaktourplan.com/bird-watching You could also try these guys. I had a booking with them last month; unfortunately their birdguide had an accident the night before we were due to go (he was ok, fortunately, and I'm guessing back in action now). However, I did use their driver who...

Looking for a day's birding in the area but having tried some of the guides, logistics and timings are not working out, so having to go solo (my wife is not a birder). Have also tried Thailand...

    Birding in Brazil

    The links below (if they work) may help for Iguazu: can only endorse comments above. We stayed the Argentinian side and the hotel grounds and the town of Puerto Iguazu were themselves pretty good for birding as well as the Falls https://www.toursbylocals.com/birdwatching-nature-wild-forest...

    Birding tours

    Try Birding Ecotours.....they are SA based and, although they do specific tours, will do day tours if you contact them. I used them during my SA holiday last year (at Cape Town) for a day's birding and presume they will have contacts in the Kruger area. Alternatively (guessing you're going in...
