10,000 Birds

AUGUST 20, 2015

So, beside a lot of birds and the sunny sky, I want the coldest thing to experience year-round to be my beer. Costa Rica (857 / 903). Greece (346 / 411 – just to give you a clue, the Greek-published checklist I have has 449 species). While I do enjoy the first snow of the season, the second snow is a different matter.

It was a fun month with posts from places as varied as Greece and Uganda, Costa Rica and India. Costa Rica. Birding Experiences. We here at 10,000 Birds dedicated the month of February to highlighting a variety of birding tourism companies, destinations, and guides. There’s something for everybody!

Yet, going through the pages of a book is an irreplaceable experience. Cover photo: birding Greece. Inset: birding Costa Rica. An app comes handy to check the call of this, or a song of that species, and I must admit, with larger font I do not need my reading glasses.

For those who happen to be faithful followers of posts about birding in Costa Rica, no, you haven’t accidentally browsed to the wrong place. It might not be Costa Rica, but it is one of the most important, birdiest events on the planet, and checking it out was a dream come true. Waiting for the sandgrouse.

It is slightly larger than Costa Rica, and in the most strategic places it has a well-developed infrastructure. Those large international agencies use reputable local ground agents, and in my experience this creates a safety cocoon around the travellers. Sri Lanka is a ‘must visit country’ for any keen birder.
