By Charlie • May 27, 2009 • 16 comments

Yes, we’ve procrastinated long enough, and as part of our month-long celebration of Puerto Rico’s biodiversity it’s now time to give away a superb “endemic bird dash” around Puerto Rico worth about 2500USD courtesy of Kevin Loughlin of Wildside Nature Tours (actually we kind of hoped if we delayed for long enough readers might forget [...]

As if proof were really needed…

We’ve had a fantastic response to our latest give-away competition, and the emails have been pouring in. Sadly, though, a few cynical readers/visitors have hinted in those emails that they think that things are not all - well - ‘above aboard’, that we may have ever so slightly ‘bent the truth’ in the way that [...]

The Birder’s Report becomes a Species Champion

Excellent news from Larry Jordan, the force behind The Birder’s Report: he’s joined BirdLife’s ‘Preventing Extinctions Programme’ as a Species Champion.
