A number of techniques were used to identify the various birding "hotspots"
in the United Kingdom, Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, Europe,
Australia and the South Pacific, Asia and the Middle East. No lists of
"best" sites were available. Anyone with access to a listing of "bests"
for these continents, please contact Tina
MacDonald. Resources which were used included:
Please provide comments via the button found throughout these pages if you disagree on the choice of website for a particular birding hotspot, or your favorite "hotspot" was omitted. If there is no good website on the WWW for your favorite birding location, take up the challenge and write one! Just remember to let me know where to find it to add it to these web pages. E-mail should be directed to tina@camacdonald.com. Don't miss the chance to see how many of the national birds you can identify. These pictures are located on the left hand side of the page, beside the country name. Pause your cursor on the picture to see the bird's identification. For those countries with no national bird identified, please let me know if you are aware of the national bird for that country. When searching for the "national bird" for many of these countries, the only web references which could be turned up were "the national bird of X is the construction crane". Funny the first time, but not so funny after a hundred repetitions! And... can you identify the gulls in the "Where do you want to go birding today?" logo at the top of this page??? Unfortunately, the only prize for getting it right is the satisfaction of knowing you're a very good birder (or at least, you know your gulls)! Highlight the following line with your cursor for the answer.... |
