Hi folks

My UK friend and I are planning a 3 week private guided trip to Colombia in March next year. There are nominally one (possibly two) spots available at the moment.

Roughish itinerary is 2 distinct sections – 2 weeks Choco/Andes/Cauca Valley and 1 week around Santa Marta area. Waiting for guides to quote costs against specific itineraries but aiming for about $4000US for the in country costs (i.e. excluding flights into Colombia) based on 4 way split.

If you are interested in being looped into details as we firm up let me know.

Cheers

Mike

Hi folks

Domestic authorities require a sacrifice to pay for a couple if trips I have planned this year.

I have Volumes 1A, 1B and 2 of HANZAB for sale if anyone is interested. Offers around $600 (excluding postage). Ideally Melbourne or Ballarat area pick up (or I can drop off). They are heavy – about 6kgs all up.

Cheers

Mike

This appears to be a not irregular scam with ‘out of print’ books. I found a copy of the out of print ‘Albatrosses and Petrels Across the World’  a couple of years back on ebay, sold from the US. IIRC there was a $500 ‘Buy it now’ option but they would only sell to the US so I needed to set up a proxy mailbox. While I was doing that it sold. And was immediately relisted for $2500 by the new ‘owner’. I emailed the new seller and wished them luck selling an obscure ornithological text book at about 10 times the original RRP. A few days later they had obviously reneged on the deal and it was back for sale at $500 through the original seller.  I’d sorted out my proxy mailbox by then so it now sits in my bookcase 🙂 mjh ————————- Email sent using Optus Webmail

Thanks for the great response folks. I think I’ve got it covered now (unless anyone has any chick or juvenile photos) Cheers Mike Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________________ Birding-Aus mailing list Birding-Aus@birding-aus.org To change settings or unsubscribe visit: http://birding-aus.org/mailman/listinfo/birding-aus_birding-aus.org

Hi folks I am doing a Uni assignment on Hooded Plovers (drafting a husbandry manual) and I’m looking for a photograph that I can put on the front cover of the manual. Does anyone have a good photograph that they would be happy for me to use, appropriately credited, please?
