Hi Laurie and everyone,
We're doing just that: for 2016, an all-Grasswren tour is on the program.
As you and many others will know, we've been running 6 Grasswren tours
since 2006, expanded to 9 Grasswrens 2 years ago, and we're now working
with local bird guides to plan an all Grasswren tour taking in all current
species plus a number of the proposed splits.
It will be delivered using a combination of private charter flights (by a
reputable company) and 4WD vehicles. It looks like it will be around 16
days. As a result, it will be expensive and with limited seats.
Nevertheless, there has already been strong interest. Further details are
on my website: http://www.bellbirdtours.com and here:
http://sabirding.com/grasswren.html#all keeping in mind that we're still in
the final planning stage of this project.
(I've always refrained from putting messages of a commercial nature on
birding-aus so sorry if this breaks the advertising rules but it appears
that others can do so undeterred and repeatedly).
cheers
Peter
