Hi all,
I have just got 4 months holiday for March through June 2016* and I am planning
on visiting Cambodia, the
Philippines, and Vietnam and/or China during this time to look for as many of
the endemics and specialities
(especially endangered species) as time and a limited budget allows.
I am looking for other birders who would like to travel with me to share costs
and find more birds.
In order to save money I intend to travel mostly by public transport and
minimize the use of guides, along roughly
the same lines as the trips in the following trip reports:
Radstaak Jan-Mar 2013
Philippineshttp://www.cloudbirders.com/tripreport/show/15504/22799
Joshua Bergmark Jan-Feb 2015 mostly Cambodia and
Vietnamhttp://www.cloudbirders.com/tripreport/show/16240/22704
Peter Collaerts Jun-Jul 2013
Chinahttp://www.cloudbirders.com/tripreport/show/12629/21010
I am willing to spend a bit more money on quicker transport etc if travelling
with someone else reduces the cost
enough to fit my budget.
I don't have any set plans yet about when to visit each country, but I will
probably decide on firmer plans within
the next month. This would depend mainly on when anyone who wants to travel
with me wants to go, however I think
the best times for each country would be:
Cambodia - MarchVietnam (south/central) - March-AprilVietnam (northern) -
April-MayPhilippines - March-AprilChina - May-June
(I am just about to leave on a holiday within Australia for 2 weeks, so I
probably won't be able to reply to any
messages in detail until I get back.)
*I am currently planning to leave Australia on Feb 27th 2016 and arrive back on
3rd July 2016, but these dates
could probably be changed a bit to fit in with someone else.
If you are interested, please email me and let me know.
Cheers,Michael Kearns
