I love it when a plan works well! The secretive Buff-spotted Flufftail can be exceedingly difficult to see, but this fine male popped up and showed brilliantly to all of the group, on my recent @Birdquest #Malawi tour! Happy days! #BirdsSeenIn2023 #canonr5 @Africabirdclub

#Malawi only has one endemic bird, but it is a little beauty that my @Birdquest group enjoyed at close range on the Zomba Plateau... the delightful Yellow-throated Apalis.

We've been having an excellent and successful time on the @Birdquest tour to #Malawi. Here's a couple of highland goodies from Nyika NP: Scarlet-tufted Sunbird and the sublime Montane Widowbird #BirdsSeenIn2023 #wildlifephotography @CanonUKandIE

I've just been working through a few #PNG photos from my @Birdquest tour earlier this year. There really are a lot of spectacular birds in this part of the world, but few more amazing than the incredible Ribbon-tailed Astrapia #wildlifephotography #BirdsSeenIn2023 @CanonUKandIE

There are a few candidates for the best gull in the world. Ross's, Ivory and Sabine's Gulls are all hard to overlook, but the bug-eyed, night-feeding, Swallow-tailed Gull from #Galapagos must be right up there. #BirdsSeenIn2023 @CanonUKandIE @Birdquest #wildlifephotography

This Blue-throated Hillstar was only discovered in 2017 and was seen for the first time on our 2020 Southern Ecuador tour!
Our Southern Ecuador tour is able to operate in January 2021 and we have space available if you would like to join! The dates will be from 13 - 31 Jan.
Ecuador has long since reopened for tourism and now has a lot less Covid per head of population than Europe and the United States.
If you are interested in joining us, please contact our office via email at [email protected]. You can also follow the link below for a detailed tour description.
