Masked Finfoot

White-eared Night Heron

Brown-winged Kingfisher

Mangrove Pitta

Back home this morning from a seven-day birding trip to Bangladesh, where the undoubted highlights came from the Sundarbans. Only nine lifers for me this trip, but these do include the doomed Masked Finfoot and range-restricted White-eared Night Heron! #BirdsSeenin2026 #birdingabroad

Last week, Emily and I spent five days close to Guarda, Portugal. From our base, we were able to visit a few National Parks. Most notable was the Parque Natural da Sella da Estrela where this Alpine Accentor obliged, amongst some quite peculiar geological features. #birdingabroad

A blast from my near past. Randomly looking through PNG videos from 2019 – a King-of-Saxony Bird-of-Paradise from Yasukom! One of 21 BoP species seen, sadly a civil ‘war’ at Tari Gap meant three others remained unseen 😢 #BirdingAbroad

Western Tarsier

Black-and-yellow Broadbill

Red-bearded Bee-eater

Bornean Slow Loris

The final blogpost from Borneo, this time featuring Sepilok. Despite no bristlehead, in only two nights we saw a grand list of birds and mammals, no doubt the highlight being a Western Tarsier. #BirdingAbroad @emilyrichens.bsky.social

There are few better places than the Western Cape. After watching many Bryde’s Whales in False Bay, the Betty’s Bay area was as usual prolific in bird life, including Cape Sugarbirds everywhere! We’re going for a big day list tomorrow to finish our time away. #BirdingAbroad

African Penguins

Southern Double-collared Sunbird

Karoo Prinia

Orange-breasted Sunbird

A brief day on Cape Point before transferring tomorrow to Durban for the Flock resulted in lots of species, all of which I saw on my very first foreign trip to SA in 2011, but mostly all new for Em. #BirdingAbroad

Tomato Clownfish

Banded Sea Krait

A quite brilliant day at/in sea from Donsol to Ticao Island with two Streaked S’waters & 2 adult Pom Skuas on the crossing, then a superb Black-tipped Reef Shark, Banded Sea Krait, Tomato Clownfish, Humphead Bannerfish, plus lots more in the pristine coral reefs. #Philippines #birdingabroad

Approach to Raja Sikatuna

Morning gloom meant no good pics at all, so here is Ebird’s.

Raja Sikatuna

Unidentified snake (possibly Mock Cobra??)

Arrived too early at Raja Sikatuna to get a guide (thankfully), but still saw four incredible Visayan Broadbills 😁!! Also bagged two Yellow-breasted Tailorbirds in the morning gloom, before scoring Philippine Oriole and Leaf Warbler, plus an unidentified snake, amongst much more! #birdingabroad

Philippine Trogon

Philippine Colugo

Philippine Frogmouth

Raja Sikatuna Protected Reserve

First full day on Bohol and a decent tally of 51 species seen. Raja Sikatuna is an excellent forested reserve which holds many specialties, but they can wait for another day! A Philippine Colugo is another mega mammal we’ve seen on this trip. #birdingabroad

False Clownfish

Underground River

Our time on Palawan has come to an end, finding all but six of the island’s endemic birds in the few days we had searching, with others spent snorkelling or kayaking to random islands, one of which had two Philippine Megapodes! Onwards to Bohol now… #BirdingAbroad
