There may be infrastructure issues in the area – power blackouts & telecommunications issues are very common in PNG. Kumul is a spectacular place, I’m sure you will enjoy it immensely. Just don’t expect 5 star facilities or service. It’s in . . . → Read More: Kumul Lodge, PNG

By Birding-Aus, on January 22nd, 2018 Hi everyone
I’ve been trying to get in contact with Kumul Lodge in PNG. They haven’t replied to emails and aren’t picking the phone up.
Does anyone know if they have gone out of business, or are they just hard to contact?
cheers

By Birding-Aus, on January 22nd, 2018 Birding In or Around Oslo
We will be visiting Oslo for several days in June and are keen to see as many birds as possible, but we are having trouble finding a guide who is not on holiday at that time or any other info on birding spots. We don’t mind staying out of the . . . → Read More: Birding in or around Oslo
By Birding-Aus, on January 22nd, 2018 Hearing the seemingly endless calls of channel-billed cuckoos, koels and brush cuckoos around here, and watching crows chasing channel-billed c’s, and magpielarks chasing koels, the thought occurred: what happens when a cuckoo is ready to play an egg and can’t find an available, unprotected nest? They must reach a point where they simply can’t wait . . . → Read More: Cuckoo eggs

By Birding-Aus, on January 21st, 2018 Whose feather is this, do you think? Note that it was found on a vehicle track enmeshed in bark & sticks, so was perhaps carried into the habitat-patch by a child – at 500m SEQ open montane heathy woodland, few birds ever present…

By Birding-Aus, on January 20th, 2018 Name and shame is the way to go. We were there a couple of days ago doing the right thing and staying on the road reserve. The property owner has become so upset he was chucking sticks at the birds to frighten them away!

By Birding-Aus, on January 20th, 2018 From the garden a few days ago, I could have sworn I heard a Catbird. At about 20km from Catbird rainforest, I wonder: – whether Catbirds disperse/ migrate in midsummer? or – what other bird/s might reproduce a range of Catbird vocalisations?
