PTERODROMAS OF MADEIRA
A recent set of three back-to-back pelagics in search of the two rare Pterodromas that breed in the Madeiran archipelago, and more besides. Long thought to be indistinguishable in the field, Fea's and Zino's Petrels can now be viewed at close range (if you're lucky), when many birds can be identified to species. If you're thinking of doing a short trip in the Western Palearctic, then read on. |

THE SUBANTARCTIC ISLANDS OF NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA
From the tip of South Island, covering Snares, Bounties, Auckland, Campbell, and Macquarie, returning via the Chatham Islands. Endemic Penguins, Shags, and many Albatrosses and other tubenoses, plus a couple of endemic waders. |
|
THE ATLANTIC ODYSSEY
The famous Wildwings inspired trip from Tierra del Fuego, via the Antarctic Peninsular back to the North Atlantic. Visits South Georgia, Gough, Tristan da Cunha, St. Helena and Ascension Island, plus Cape Verde as an option. A wealth of seabirds and endemics, probably the biggest seabird list obtainable on one voyage. |
|
THE SOUTH WEST PACIFIC ODYSSEY
A new Wildwings inspired trip in 2007, based on a repositioning voyage for Rodney Russ' ship "Spirit of Enderby". A bit specialised, but many seabirds otherwise difficult to catch up with, many island endemics, and the famous Kagu. Visits Norfolk Island, New Caledonia, part of the Solomons and the Carolines. A circumnavigation of Torishima for Short-tailed Albatross before docking in Southern Japan. |

BAJA CALIFORNIA WHALEWATCHING
A primarily cetacean trip, although numbers of seabirds may be seen, and landbirds also, including a few endemics. Not really for hardcore birders since most species can be seen elsewhere, but the best area in the world for close sightings and variety of cetaceans. |
|
A CRUISE ROUND SOUTH AMERICA
The Humboldt Current is one of the best areas for seabirds in the world, but difficult to access. We decided to try a commercial cruise ship, this was successful far beyond our expectations, and we recorded over one hundred species of seabird if you include gulls and terns. |
