Bird of the Week

Giant Antpitta Grallaria gigantean ©Joan Sharkey www.septimoparaiso.com/main.htm
Fatbirder is the premier web resource about birds, birding & birdwatching for birders - hundreds of pages & tens of thousands of links about birding everywhere in the world; a page for every country & state; every bird family; books, guides, forums, reserves, accommodation, trip reports, bird clubs, ornithology, twitching, conservation, optics, holidays. So if you want to go birding, or want to know about particular birds then Fatbirder is for you! Each page has sections on useful reading, guides, mailing lists, reserves, places to stay, trip reports, bird clubs, etc. This website benefits hugely from the contributions of birders, photographers & ornithologists from all over the world. Most of the country and state introductions are written by, and most photographs featured taken by, Fatbirder users. If you can write an intro for a page that doesn't have one please get in touch. If you have taken an appropriate photo get in touch too, I may use it on your local page or as a 'bird of the week'.
