Thrilled to come across this male Orange-bellied Parrot outside of Melbourne last weekend. The species is critically endangered with only 21 pairs breeding in Tasmania this year

Got my first taste of Southern Ocean birding on a pelagic out of Port Fairy, Victoria a couple of weeks back. The stars of the show were undoubtedly the Wandering Albatrosses

A real standout for me in 2022 was getting to see the stunning Resplendent Quetzal on the slopes of Volcano Paquisis near Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. A supporting cast consisting of Horned Guan, Wine-throated Hummingbird and Fulvous Owl wasn’t bad either. Happy new year all!

Tikal, Guatemala - exceptional birding and nature along the trails surrounding the ruins and temples of the historic site. Highlights being Keel-billed Toucan, Collard Aracari, the localised and rare Orange-breasted Falcon and Spider Monkeys

Unfortunately avian flu has hit the Waterford coast with several reports of sickly Gannets across the county today. This bird was on Clonea beach this evening. Not easy to watch… @watbirds

This Stock Dove showed well near Bunmahon this morning. An undervalued species in my opinion and yet another farmland bird which is in decline @watbirds
