The Glow-throated Hummingbird post-extension of the Panama & Darien Specialties tour proved to be very successful. Besides seen male and female individuals of the super localized and restricted Glow-throated Hummingbirds we saw other species of interest like two undescribed taxons of the area, such as the Azuero Mountain-gem and the Azuero Warbler. The last one was a really good one as technically it should be a Birdquest Lifer, and was a very good to report the presence of this undescribed taxon as haven’t been reported since 2018 in the highlands of Azuero at Cerro Hoya National Park, the only locality where exist.

The birding was very challenging as the vegetation was dense, and we had to do a demanding hike to the areas where these specialties occur, but in the end it was really worth it. Besides those main specialties mentioned we also got other interesting species too. Unfortunately, the local subspecies of Painted Parakeet refused to be seen but we heard them from close distance near our base camp at Cerro Hoya Ridge.

The recent Panama & Darien Specialties Tour was very successful, where we saw most of the Darien specialties, as well as a high quality of Chocó specialties and many rare species too. Here goes some images of some of the encounters during the main tour.

Coming to the end of our Ghana tour. Excellent views of the ‘Togo’ Yellow-billed Barbet this morning. This highly distinctive form is sometimes considered worthy of specific status and was a new one for me and hence Birdquest too!

Birdquest's NW India 2025 tour
From Bikaner, we headed southwestwards to the small village of Khichan, which lies not far from the town of Phalodi. Here, during the winter months, thousands of Demoiselle Cranes from the steppes of Central Asia and Mongolia gather to live alongside mankind in extraordinary harmony. This amazing event owes its existence to the custom of the people of Khichan to put out grain for the cranes on the edge of the village. At any one time between 3000-8000 cranes congregate around Khichan, making for an extraordinary spectacle. To be so close to thousands of wild Demoiselle Cranes is an extraordinary privilege. -Hannu

The amazing Lesser Florican, which we saw so well in the Ajmer region, was the ‘mega-star’ on our very successful Indian Monsoon birding tour. In this video taken by our wonderful guide Ghani Singh, you can see the male doing its fabulous display leap. This very rare and declining bustard species becomes visible during the monsoon period but is nearly impossible to see for the rest of the year. -Hannu
