Birdwatching in Eastern Aegean, Greece
One of Europe's finest spring migration "hotspots". A spring visit to Lesbos enables you to enjoy birds from Eastern and Western Europe on a quiet island. Good wine, historic sites and a relaxed way of life add to the birding experience as you watch shrikes, orioles, warblers and birds of prey move from Africa north to their breeding grounds in Europe. |

Birdwatching in Panama City, Panama
With easy and very bird-friendly lodging at the unique Canopy Tower Lodge, birding in the rich protected forests along the Panama Canal is a real treat. Pipeline, Gamboa and Achiote Roads produce huge lists of antbirds, tanagers, barbets and trogons and time spent birding anywhere in these protected forests is well spent. |

Birdwatching in Oaxaca, Mexico
Oaxaca City is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a beautiful city. A birding trip to Oaxaca combines ancient ruins, friendly people, great food and some of Mexico's most restricted endemic birds. With so much to offer to birders and non-birders alike, Oaxaca is a gem on the southwest coast of Mexico and one visit is never enough to this beautiful area. Birds to meet include Dwarf Jays, Long-tailed Wood-Partridge, Hooded Yellowthroat, Bumblebee and Garnet-throated Hummers, White-throated Towees and the rarer Slaty Vireo, Beautiful Hummingbird, Blue Mockingbird, Ocellated Thrasher, and Oaxaca Sparrow. |

Birdwatching in Bhutan
With friendly people, rich Himalayan forests and views that go on forever, a birding trip to Bhutan takes you deep into areas that most birders never go. With Blood Pheasant and Himalayan Monal both being easy to see, it's a "must do" for any birder wanting to enjoy birds in the Himalayan region. Add parrotbills, minivets, fulvettas, babblers, bulbuls and many, many more to this list and Bhutan should be high on anyone's list of the world's best birding places. |

Birdwatching in Manta, Ecuador
Not far from the capital, Quito lies an intensely bird-rich area that is starting to attract birder from the world over. With over 50 species of hummingbirds, many toucans, tanagers and antpittas, this forested part of the Andes is exceedingly rich in birdlife and is now blessed with excellent lodges and guide services. |
