    Trip report to Pantanal, Brazil (Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul) (August 2023)

    Thanks for sharing I have read a bit and will read more. I do have a question which months are good to visit? Ideally I would go in November or February one year, I live in the UK and if you have ever visited the UK in November or February you will understand why!

    Brazil 2024 - independent with non birding wife

    An interesting post - I am thinking about going to the Pantanal one year on my own. (I speak ok Portuguese) - why did you go in the UK summer was it just convenient or is it a good time of year for there?

    Bearly Believable – Birding Bolivia

    That makes sense - it sounded very different from where I went. Very interesting series - did you see any butterflies in Kaa lya? There were loads in October but the guide said that there were none a few weeks earlier. I believe him but it was hard to.

    Hooded Antpitta, Black Tinamou and other Southern Colombian highlights

    I am very pleased to hear that you went to San Cipriano and found it in good conditions - I had heard a couple of years ago that it was suffering due to gold mining.

    San Jose del Guaviare

    Thanks for that. I went in August - I saw quite a few birds I would recommend going there on a serious trip. The amazing things was the massive numbers of Hoatzins

    Short eared owls

    Thanks for that, I was ill when I saw your reply (better now) which is why I didn't thank you before. Both are places I could get to and will have to try them, sadly Cliffe's Pool is shut over Christmas.

    Best clothing to not be seen by birds

    Sorry I should have been clearer it is the Colombian birdwatching guide book that says that (a great book BTW). Where is the best places that you have been? For me Minca + El Dorado, Casanare (Hato La Aurora). The most disappointing Leticia (the tour was rubbish) and Gorgona - the health and...

    Best clothing to not be seen by birds

    That is interesting the Colombian birdwatching guide says don't, perhaps they are being overly cautious. I am going to Mocoa, Purace and near Cali. The first two are places with problems. Out of interest why do you go to Colombia so much, I go because my wife is from there. I am not sure if...

    Best clothing to not be seen by birds

    One proviso it cannot be camouflage clothing as I am going to Colombia and you cannot wear it there - sadly the civil war (now almost over) makes this a bad idea.

    Little terns Norfolk

    I hope they are by the 1st Saturday in June - I had to spent a lot of effort persuading the wife to go there. Is it worth going there even if there are no terns?
