There are direct flights from London to Kigali by, among others, RwandAir, Etihad and Qatar Airways. No, I am not talking of Brazil or Columbia, they are not just in the tropics but more importantly, they are officially huge. Mongabay.com has done exactly that.

With four days to go in 2018, why not try for a few more, right? Qatar Totals: 9. Carol and Livia – Doha, Qatar.

While visiting the Kakadu National Park, I was able to photograph this Rainbow Bee eater right after it had caught a dragonfly. With him guiding the way, we were able to track down this Papuan Frogmouth, right along side the river bank. Spending time in Darwin Australia, has made that our #1 spot to return to after the year was done.

It ran right out to greet me, and then ran all around me, checking out the cool smells on my tripod legs. Qatar species – 9. Here are a couple of the babies that have wandered off from mom. I made a stop at one of the observation platforms, and was thoroughly entertained by a Long-tailed Weasel. Australia species – 242.

We had contacted the staff at the observatory, and with Jonnies help, arranged to stay right there in their newly built hostel type facility. The staff there was friendly and very helpful, it is a great place to stay that is very reasonable, and it puts you right in the middle of an amazing amount of birding areas. Qatar species 9.

In Qatar, the concern about lost livelihoods during difficult economic times was particularly acute. I like this opinion piece from the Christian Science Monitor which calls for an "Endangered Species Hour." It's in response to the pathetic CITES conference which basically screwed marine animal protection.

Well, for us, we went to Doha, Qatar. That does not mean that we can’t make a stop or two along the way, right? Set right in the middle of a nice mix of brush, mature trees and agricultural areas, this place was loaded with birds. After leaving Africa, I was fearing a real let down in my birding. Where do you go from there?
