Birding With Me - Birdwatching Tours Join us for world-class birding in Uruguay, the secret birding hotspot of the Southern Cone! About a hundred species can be seen on a single day!

Uruguay brings several important features that makes birdswatching activity very enjoyable and productive. In a small area, many different environments are involved; that is why the diversity of birds is so great! The territory of Uruguay is 48 times smaller than Brazil but contains 25% of its bird species, and is 15 times smaller than Argentina but 50% of its species are represented in this small

country, as well. Moreover, the coastline and wetlands here are very important for migrant species that arrive every year, during Summer and Winter, from the North and South of the continent. If you are interested in South American bird species, consider visiting Uruguay!

Once again we are fascinated to take the Wine & Birds tour in Uruguay. Thanks to Alvaro's Adventures for this beautiful group of 8 birders who will be touring the country for 15 days, tasting wines from more than 8 national wineries. Among the wineries of the West, as always the Falcone Family makes us feel among friends with their warm welcome at the Falcone Winery, which since the 19th century has been an important part of the country's viticulture with its high quality wines, recognized and awarded nationally and internationally.
The experience could not be the same without our great team, our bird guide Rafa and our driver Omar.💪💪💪🪶🦉🦅🦩🦜🦉

We had a great full day birding in Punta del Este and nearby areas. We visited 4 IBAs along the Ocean coasts including marshes, estuaries, coastal lagoons and beaches. Among the approximately 100 species recorded yesterday, this was the STAR! The Pinnated Bittern (Botaurus pinnatus pinnatus) is a rare bird to see throughout its range. This secretive bird remains hidden in dense wetland vegetation and is usually very silent. However, we were lucky enough to see this individual completely in the open, a few meters from our position, at midday and in a very docile and relaxed temperament.

Almost a month has passed since this magnificent Wines & Birds tour in Uruguay with our guests from Alvaro's Adventures ended. In 15 days, a variety of wineries were visited, from the oldest in the country with a family history of generations, such as Bodega Falcone, with internationally awarded wines, to the most modern and impressive for its technology and vanguard architecture, such as Bodega Garzón, which is positioned among the best ones in the whole world. After visiting the most notable national parks, protected areas and IBAs on a trip that covered all regions of the country, more than 270 species of birds were seen, 50% of all the species recorded to date for this small territory that has a magnificent diversity of environments.

These are delightful photographs taken by our bird guide .ph Mauricio Silvera yesterday during a day trip with birdwatchers who visited Montevideo on a cruise ship. By far, among the approximately 80 species seen, this species was the most appreciated. Although relatively widely distributed in South America, the Bearded Tachuri Polystictus pectoralis is a small tyrant that goes unnoticed due to its behavior. It lives in tall grasslands where it generally remains hidden. It is possible to see it when it poses on fences to sing or when it performs its aerial display. In Uruguay, it occurs during the spring and summer months, when it can nest from November to January. The individual in the photo was in a pair and possibly had chicks, since it was seen carrying food in its bill. It was found in an area of fairly well preserved grasslands and it was possible to watch it with a rational use of playback. Three small groups, each with their guide, met together at the site to call it just once and they succeeded! Thanks to our guide Rafa Tosi for the great idea!

It was a great day of birding in the West of Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay. Three guides worked in parallel with three small groups of birders who arrived on cruise ships. It was very fun to be on the trip and join forces to observe some of the stars of this tour such as Dark-throated Seedeater and Bearded Tachuri. In a few hours the list reached 80 species!
