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 e mail 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.
