    Zimbabwe updates?

    Hi Andy, the only thing that approached Boulder Chat was my first encounter with the Cliff Chats at Gosho Park. Dark bird of the right size, dipping into a crevice between the boulders, and then nothing - at least for a few seconds, and then a juvenile Cliff Chat popped up! I tried several of...

    Zimbabwe updates?

    I've been back home now for a month, so maybe it's about time I did a quick update on my trip. Driving up to Zimbabwe from Johannesburg, I encountered the only substantial rainfall, lasting maybe half a day, after which I only had a few shovers, so the dambos in Harare where definately not wet...

    Zimbabwe updates?

    Hi Jon, I'll be picking up a rental car in Jo'burg on my arrival, so won't have to deal with public transport this time around. Too bad that I don't have enogh time to go for the Pitta, but it usually seems that there is a very limited window of opportunity (few weeks?) to catch up with them...

    Zimbabwe updates?

    Andy, I tried googling CB Tit, and an image popped up, that was taken at Cecil Kop a few months back, so they are out there, but maybe rather thinly spread. I've also emailed Crake cottage. Jens

    Zimbabwe updates?

    Hi Andy, that's a lot of very useful information - I owe you a beer if we ever manage to bump into each other. I'm planning to stay for one or two nights at Gosho Park, depending on my luck with the Miombo birds, but perhaps even a week wouldn't be enough to stumble across the Cinnamon-breasted...

    Zimbabwe updates?

    Hi Andy - I look forward to hear more from your trip, though I won't head into Mo (at least not this time around), but it will be very interesting to hear some up-to-date birdnews. Jens

    Zimbabwe updates?

    Hi Mark, very nice tripreport you've posted, especially your close encounters with the Wild Dogs. They will have to wait for another trip, as I'm skipping lowveld and bushveld this time around. In your search for Zambesi Indigobirds in Burma Valley, did you merely make random stops along the...

    Zimbabwe updates?

    Hi Peter, I'll be in Zimbabwe in the first half of January, so unfortunately will probably not bump into you along the way. I usually don't use guides, as I get a big kick out of finding the birds myself, relying on a relaxed itinerary which allows for extra time at sites, where I feel I could...

    Zimbabwe updates?

    Thanks Andy, reading recent travel updates on backpacking fora it seems, that the country is just in the early stages of getting the tourist trade going again, so every bit of gen would be valuable to me. Look forward to hear more from your trip - enjoy Jens

    Zimbabwe updates?

    Hello, I'll be heading to Zimbabwe in January, primarily visiting sites in the east of the country, as my main focus will be on the Eastern Highlands, wetlands in and around Harare and Miombo birds in this general area. There is not a lot of recent information on birding in Zimbabwe, and though...
