You will notice that there is no introduction to this section yet.

I would like to fill this gap with an introduction from a local birder [or someone who is a frequent visitor] for every on of the geographical pages. The many thousands of birders now regularly using these pages prefer to read something written by someone who can see the place from an insider's point of view. They know the best spots, not just the ones that first time overseas visitors usually visit or that are on the normal birding trip itineraries.

Each introduction carries the e-mail address of the contributor so that birders can get in touch with them if, for example, they are planning a trip [unless the contributor is unable to do this].

Please get in touch if you feel you can contribute an introduction to this page - you don't have to be an expert; I'm not!

Birding Sulawesi and Halmahera

http://homepage.mac.com/alanwilkinson/birding/sulawesi/
During September 1999 I was lucky enough to be a client on a Birdquest tour to Sulawesi and Halmahera in Indonesia, led by Pete Morris and Dave Farrow. Here is a trip report adapted from the tour report produced by Pete for Birdquest tour participants. The accompanying photos and sounds are all derived from Pete`s video and audio recordings made on the trip. I have added a reference list with itinerary to help anyone planning their own trip.
