Chris Collins, presently leading the The Limosa-Wildwings Svalbard (Spitzbergen) Cruise, reports that the group saw a Bowhead Whale in the pack ice. This was one of the main targets for the trip, so nice to see so early in the adventure. The group have also seen good numbers of Reindeers, Black and Brunnich’s Guillemots, Little Auks, Glaucous Gulls, King Eiders and several Minke Whales (including one breaching) with a backdrop of amazing scenery.

Chris Collins is again leading this years cruise around Spitsbergen (Svalbard), which has just set out from the main town of Longyearbyen. The focus of this eight day cruise is to search for wildlife along the edge of the Arctic sea ice, where clients should get good views of Polar Bears and Bowhead Whales, along with birds such as Little Auk and Brunnich's Guillemot at their huge colonies. There are of course many other birds and sea mammals that should be encountered. We will keep you updated with what the group sees this year (photo Chris Collins).

Wildwings and Limosa guide Frank Lambert has just returned from a very successful trip into the Meratus Mountains of South Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, where he and John Howes were successful in finding all the recently described new species. Frank reports that, after a very arduous two-day trek into the mountains ,they camped for six nights with rain daily. Nevertheless, they obtained good views of the species they were searching for, as well as other endemic montane birds, such as this Bornean Shade-dweller (eBird calls this Eyebrowed Jungle-flycatcher) (photo Frank Lambert)

The 'Primates and Parrots Wildlife Cruise' has just finished, and Chris Collins sent us this interesting snippet: "Occasionally toucans get drunk on fermented fruit and end up crashing into the river and drowning. We spotted this one struggling in the water and went and fished it out. After leaving it in a laundry basket to dry out and sober up for a couple of hours, it was able to fly off strongly. A happy ending to our very successful Cruise in the Brazilian Amazon!"

Wildwings guide Frank Lambert is currently birding in Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo), where he spent two mornings watching Black-browed Babblers, one of Asia's least known birds. After being collected in the 1840s and described in 1850, the species was 'lost' until rediscovered when bird trappers posted a photo of a bird they'd trapped in 2020. This elusive species is a specialist of forest with extensive, tall limestone outcrops and abundant lianas in southeast Borneo. Frank is now heading into the Meratus Mountains, where three new species to science have recently been described, and others await formal description (photo John Howes).
