    South of France

    Col de la Cayolle in the French Alps is very reliable for Citril Finch, Mark, but it's a good two and a half hours' drive from Nice. Worth a day trip though. Lots of other interest - both choughs, Golden Eagle, Griffon Vulture and a chance of Bearded Vulture.

    Which ecozone is the Limithang road in Bhutan in?

    Really? I would have thought it is amongst the Eastern Himalayan Broadleaf & Conifer Forests: http://wwf.panda.org/about_our_earth/ecoregions/easthimalayan_broadleaf_conifer_forests.cfm They are within the Indomalaya ecozone.

    Which ecozone is the Banc d'Arguin in Mauritania in?

    Apparently Karel Voous (1973–77) established the southern border of the Palearctic in the western and central Sahara at 21°N, and to the southern Egyptian border in the east, though with southern extensions to 20°N along the Atlantic coastline and at 18°E to include the Banc d’Arguin...

    The Palearctic or Afrotropic? It appears to be on the border of both.

    A week in the Everglades

    Advice please... We're looking to spend a week in the Everglades next March (1st-8th) and was wondering if there was enough to hold us there at a relaxed pace for a whole week, especially if we included Big Cypress and Fakahatchee Strand too? Most importantly, we were wondering if the trails...

    Greater or Lesser Sand Plover?

    I would say the last photo is a Greater, numbers 1 & 4 are a Lesser and 2 & 3 are a Kentish Plover. A distinctive Charadrius plover known as the White-faced Plover has been seen in Thailand in recent years. It is at present unclear whether it is a new species or a subspecies of Kentish Plover

    There's a couple for just under £150 on eBay David. Amazon are doing them for £250. Lots of variation as you say. Do you know how they compare to the Viking 10x42 ED?
