Nestling Tours August 25, 2008 Update
Our small group (6 to 8 participants) trips or Covey of Adults will include many fine trips to nearly every continent in 2009 and even more locations in 2010.
- South American (Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador,
and Peru) destinations with Lelis Navarrete continue to prove popular. Lelis is the choice guide for one of the most prolific bird guide writers in South America and many other experienced South American bird watcher. Teamed with one of our hosts, these trips deliver productive birding and great fun for all. We will probably add trips to Venezuela and Southern Ecuador in 2010.
- Ted Floyd (author of the Smithsonian Guide
to North American Birds and the editor of Birding Magazine) has indicated he will host our Uganda 2009 trip. Johnnie Kamugisha will be the bird guide for this trip. Though both have different senses of humour and different birding expertise, as a combination they will deliver a great bird watching trip.
- We continue to work with Patrick Cardwell
and have well developed trips to South Africa and Namibia. Patrick is based in South Africa and uses a host of local birding guides for each destination. Watch for our Madagascar trip in 2011.
- Harry Fuller is developing an interesting 2 or
3 week European trip, using local guides and hitting great birding locales in Spain and Portugal with an extension to France. This trip is looking more like 2010 due to exchange rates.
- A trip to Sri Lanka has been developed with
the great help of many good folks in Sri Lanka and with direction from John Drummond. John does know Sri Lanka birding from much study and some field experience there. This trip is our best value and should get more attention.
- As of this web version, I know I am missing a
few trips, but keep checking here for more 2009 and 2010 plans. Please email us at travel@nestlingtours.com. Call most anytime to 1-888-203-7464 and let us know what you are looking for. We love to hear from our customers.
