    Help with Ecuador

    I hadn't thought about this aspect of paying towards conservation, it makes me look at this in a new light so thank you. I hope that the comment about London is "tongue in cheek" but I get your point. I would never feel unsafe anywhere in the UK so its reassuring to know that safety doesn't...

    Help with Ecuador

    ".....but it was worth the added cost (for us) to get a running start each morning without arranging a taxi or other transport. Neither of those contradicts the "true wildlife experience" but I'm unable to make the same assertion for Paz de las Aves (at least based on my perhaps atypical...

    Help with Ecuador

    A few family and friends have been asking me about personal safety. I should have probably thought about this before, but generally, is it quite safe in the birding areas?

    Help with Ecuador

    Thanks Andrew Hello Andrew, thanks for helping me. I obviously want to photograph hummingbirds but other species interest me just as much. It has been an ambition to get good photos of hummingbirds though. I have a gallery with nearly 800 species of birds and I am trying to get to 1000...

    Help with Ecuador

    I am visiting Ecuador in September for only 9 days. I am a serious/keen photographer and a lifelong birder. I originally saw the trip as a reccee really but I thought I would at least see a few hummingbirds to photograph and every bird I do see will be a lifer. I have arranged accommodation near...
