Long story short, the only way I could figure out securing a cabin for myself and my husband, Erik, was to book a trip with Rockjumper, a birding tour company based in South Africa and a supporter of Birdlife South Africa. None of the three voyagers made landfall due to poor weather and dangerous conditions.

Finally my luck changed in the form of a troop of Silvered Langurs , a lovely species of leaf-monkey with dark black fur that contrasts astonishingly with the bright orange fur of youngsters. This was a family I have wanted to see since I first saw their pictures in a guide book ten years earlier, and made the day for me.

The previous Australian Big Year Record was 720, set by Sean Dooley nearly a decade ago and immortalized in his book, The Big Twitch. As of 15 December he had seen 744 species and it is unclear if that was his final total or if he added more since. At 76 mammals and 431 birds they reached every single one of their goals!
