At 8am on Tuesday 30th August 2012, we arrived at Leeudril after leaving nearby Tweerivieren camp and were thrilled to spot a young female Leopard next to the water tank. You can notice in the above images how the Leopard uses her eye-lids as hoods to protect her sensitive eyes from the bright sun as she sprinted towards us.

However very few birders ever venture to areas off this well-beaten track, so with this in mind, I decided to explore a fascinating but ornithologically little known corner of Ethiopia in January 2012, to see what surprises awaited me. We spotted a young Leopard and his mother in Mago National Park. Yellow-billed Stork. Mursi woman.

And we headed down to this part of the world in early 2012 to find out more about these threatened birds. But there is one place in Africa where Wattled Cranes still gather in fair numbers – the Okavango Delta of Botswana. This is worrying because paired birds generally only lay one egg and the breeding cycle can be very irregular.

Press, Fall 2012. This is the birding adventure book supreme. Gooddie gets the book off to a quick start by describing his love affair with pittas (“the ultimate forest prize”), and detailing his decision to give up a good career as sales director of an audio manufacturing company (“my life was out of whack”).

As 2013 draws to a close we here at 10,000 Birds thought that it would be a great idea if we, like we did in 2010 , 2011 , and 2012 , shared our Best Birds of the Year. The end of the year is nigh and birders the world over are looking over their checklists and reminiscing about their amazing sightings and devastating dips.
