The day after...this happened! Mark and the team had an encounter with this Andean Bear from just metres away...for almost an hour they watched as the bear went about deconstructing and eating the heart of this huge bromeliad. What an encounter! Thanks again for the images Mark ;)

The team have been visiting various active Harpy Eagle nests over the last 3-4 years. It has been such an incredible privilege to bring our valued guests to these special locations and in the process support local conservation projects that safeguard these rare nesting sites for future generations of Harpies!! Here's a sub-adult Harpy that's almost ready to leave and find its own breeding territory. Do drop us a line if you'd love to see a Harpy Eagle in the its natural habitat whilst supporting local conservation initiatives!! We'll give you all the latest nest info ;)

Our birding odyssey continued to the riches of Colombia's Caribbean coast. Here we enjoyed birding in coastal dry forests, arid scrub, tidal lagoons and the shore itself.

Our most recent tour was an epic 24 day birding adventure visiting all three of Colombia's Andean Cordillera, as well as the Colombia coast and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. We kicked off with a few days close to Bogota, in the eastern Andes, where we enjoyed birding in spectacular locations and nailed key targets including Bogota Rail, Silvery-throated Spinetail, Indigo-capped Hummingbird, Bronze-tailed Thornbill, Blue-throated Starfrontlet and many many more besides! Here are a few images from those opening days
