    How do you keep your lifelist, and what is included?

    IGoTerra lets me keep all my bird lists as well as mammals, fish, insects, plants, etc. Basically all of "life" is on there. There are many functions that automatically organize your lists into regions etc, if that is your kind of thing. There are also many other functions available with the...

    Watamu - January 2022

    Just as a follow-up, I had a real excellent trip to the Kenyan coast. I was working from home/birding for around 9 days total. I managed to get in touch with Jonathan Baya, who is still guiding, not retired. It seems his son is now a teacher and not guiding though. Jonathan can be reached...

    Bird Journal vs Scythebill

    I use igoterra.com for my lists. Have been using it since it was developed by a Swedish guy from scratch when it was called globaltwitcher. I really love it and use it for all my observations, birds, mammals, fish, butterflies, plants etc. It has pretty much all life available for listing and...

    Watamu - January 2022

    Hello! Happy New Year! I'm wondering if anyone could share updated contact info for some of the guides in Watamu area on the coast. The Turtle Bay is not very communicative and having emails problems and the spinetail safaris website is down. I sent an email through the website of Jonathan...

    Adis Ababa Bole Airport - Birds?

    You are back now, sorry I only saw this now. I've seen speckled pigeon (I think, haven't ticked it), pied crow and some unidentified Hawks while passing through. Probably a starling or 2 fly-by as well. But 3.5 hours is not long there, transitting is a bit difficult. You won't see much from...

    Leaf Warbler Xinjiang, China

    I only suggested Greenish from looking through my guides and the distribution maps. I don't remember if it had wing bars or not, Ishould take better notes in the field. The chiffchaff seems a possibility too. This one will likely have to go unidentified I am afraid.

    Leaf Warbler Xinjiang, China

    Another question. This one was seen at the "Kizilsu Kyrgyz Glacier" off the Karakoram highway in western China. Is is a greenish leaf warbler? Cheers BC

    Finch, xinjiang province, China

    Hi there, I saw this Finch along a side road in a small valley just off the Karakoram Highway in far western China. I think its a finch anyway. Maybe Brandt's Mountain Finch? Thanks for your help! BC

    Tablet Computers

    I went through the same issue earlier this year before my trip to China. There were too many compromises with tablets IMO. I wound up getting an Acer Aspire One netbook and am absolutely content with it. I love this little thing. It spent six weeks with me in my backpack and I had the best...

    Great or Streaked Rosefinch?

    Hello, I took these two photos on the Karakoram Highway in western China, nearby the borders with Tajikistan / Pakistan. It looks to me more like its Great Rosefinch rather than Streaked, but maybe given the location its more likely streaked? Thanks for your help! BC

    Nanjing question

    Well, I made it to the Botanical Gardens this afternoon. The stop on bus #20 is actually before the end. I went to the last stop then asked around and everyone kept telling me to get on #20, the one I had just gotten off of. The correct stop on the way up is right after the big lake. The...
