We Spotted 415 species in 15 days!

I am excited to announce that our 'standard 15-day tour', which took place from 15 to 29 April 2024, produced excellent results: we saw no less than 415 species of birds, which is a record for a 15-day tour!
The previous record for this tour was 376 species in 2018, which is also an excellent result, but this tour significantly surpassed it.

Highlights of this tour included the Zigzag Heron, which we had only heard at a distance on previous tours, as well as birds such as the Mangrove Rail, Variegated Antpitta, Wing-banded Antbird and Band-tailed Antshrike.
