I see that the sanitair was not really luxurious (great to be home, I think.) The animals and birds you have seen are gorgeous. I enjoyed to look at your great pictures.

A fabulous collection of species seen and photos taken, but that's a hell of a price to pay in terms of loss of comfort! I've never been on an organised birding tour, but I'm now thinking that I never will! I'm just too fond of my home comforts, and probably don't have the stamina either. I bet that Miriam was delighted that she didn't go with you!Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-52714654700705376952014-02-12T12:36:46.508-05:002014-02-12T12:36:46.508-05:00I wish I could offer you great subjects to observe...I wish I could offer you great subjects to observe and photograph, unfortunately deer appearances are always pure chance.<br />The only birds you can see here for sure are the buzzards in winter!<br />That is why we often go to Spain, they have fine sites and such a variety of birds.<br />Cheers David, keep well!<br />Noushkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11583459949373167021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-29228773095967885372014-02-12T11:25:51.196-05:002014-02-12T11:25:51.196-05:00Mina gosh what a long blog David and what a story!...Mina gosh what a long blog David and what a story!! I think you're really fantastic birds and you've seen pretty amazing and lots of colorful birds. You accommodation was far from luxurious and your toilet paper was not entirely in accordance with the standards lol .... what we are spoiled in our homes when I read what you had to berths and hotel there. Also the electricity with adhesive tapes on the wall pfffff ....... I think you weather was glad you were back in your own home. <br /><br />Groetejs, HelmaHelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669041021568049241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-29070332746326246862014-02-12T08:18:02.877-05:002014-02-12T08:18:02.877-05:00Seems like a trip from hell.

I would love to see the birds, but there must be somewhere else to see a big variety without suffering these conditions.Danielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-21367638082972731752014-02-12T06:12:05.022-05:002014-02-12T06:12:05.022-05:00Wow David, I just spent a good hour or more readin...Wow David, I just spent a good hour or more reading your fine and detailed report, having to break off and answer the phone and spend some time with my wife. Just joking. Your wonderful write-up brought back memories of my own less extreme trips to Africa in Kenya and The Gambia. Africa is indeed a chaotic but incredibly beautiful and packed with wildlife destination not to be tackled by the unprepared.<br /><br />Great stuff. I'll take another read in a day or two, so good was your post.

LOL!<br />OK, that was the "resume"...<br />Now I'd like to see all the species in detail!!!<br />Who knows... maybe once we've sold this place we could travel some place, you and us!<br />Keep well David! :)<br /><br />Noushkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11583459949373167021noreply@blogger.com
