On our way to Papua New Guinea in search of Birds of Paradise we stopped off for a few days in Singapore. Whilst there we hired a local bird guide, Kim Seng, for a day of birding. He took us to Bukit Timah nature reserve, Bukit Barok nature park, and Sungei Buloh wetland reserve.
Between July 2009 and September 2016 we visited Estonia six times. Our first visit was organised by our friend Ingrid Williams whose parents were Estonian. The five subsequent trips were with Estonian Nature Tours, a company founded and run by Marika Mann.
We used an Ecuadorian company, Neblina Forest, to visit Brazil in September 2013, focusing on the Pantanal region but also visiting Caraca National Park in Minas Gerais. Xavier Munoz, one of the owners of the travel company, was our expert guide.
We went to India with friends Mike and Colleen in January 2020, spending a week in Assam and a week in Madhya Pradesh.
We went to Bosnia-Herzegovina with a group of friends from the Bedfordshire Natural History Society. The trip was organised and led by Denis Bohm of ‘Wild Herzegovina’.
