An intense full day watching birds in Alicante delivers a great final count for our party of three. Different migrant birds seen include four different Eurasian hobbies, definitely the top species of the day.

A trip to Kazbegi five years ago marked my first experience watching birds abroad. Highlights include wallcreeper, Caucasian snowcock, and flocks of migrating kites, buzzards, sparrowhawks, chiffchaffs, and wheatears

Anja Community Reserve stands as a capacity building project to conserve biodiversity in a dry forest of south Madagascar. Ring-tailed lemurs are the highlight of this tiny but biodiverse park.
