I want to do a 3 day birding trip around Singapore. Does anyone have the name, email address and or website of a contactable reliable local guide? I get the complete runaround trying to find anything on Google or anyone in Singapore who will actually reply to emails/facebook requests and so on..

Thanks

RFI Alice Springs and Darwin

Hi all,

I’m reaching the last leg of a 3-week birding trip to Australia. I’ll be spending next week in Alice Springs and Darwin and was wondering if any locals in either region might be able to give me some up-to-date intel on a few target species.
