Birding the Danzhou Bay area (Hainan, China) by day

10,000 Birds

While not on the scale of bird migration, it is routinely and somewhat lazily described as the biggest annual migration of humans in the world.

Birding across the north of Australia in July

10,000 Birds

These temperatures make for perfect birding/camping weather and because that is one of our favourite pastimes we decided it was time to go and explore a bit more of northern Australia during July. The total distance of the trip was 8048kms/5001 miles and we often drove for hours without seeing a single vehicle. Cattle can be anywhere!
