Bird-Photo-Tours ASIA

I have travelled extensively throughout Asia photographing birds over the past 15-years but today’s experience here in Papua New Guinea of a male Blue Bird-of-Paradise displaying by hanging upside-down may rank as the most extraordinary encounter of them all [#BirdsSeenIn2025].

@LWestwoodAuthor The first one, Swinhoe’s, does, the others sadly much harder!

@BirdPhotoTours do they all stand in the middle of the road like dummies waiting to be run over??😬

The Pheasants of China: 1. Swinhoe’s 2. Brown Eared 3. Mikado 4. Grey Peacock 5. Reeves’ 6. Blood 7. Elliott’s 8. Lady Amherst’s 9. Hainan Peacock 10. Silver 11. Koklass 12. Blue Eared 13. Hume’s 14. Kalij 15. Ring-necked 16. Tibetan Eared 17. White Eared 18. Golden

@Photos2Print Fortunate with this pair Mark, performed so well.

@BirdPhotoTours Super photo - very striking looking birds👍🏽

Sexing Black-and-Red Broadbills in the field is a guesstimate but having observed this pair for a while today here in Peninsular Malaysia, the bird on the right appeared more dominant, bulkier and with slightly richer colours [Bird-Photo-Tours.com].

The recent trip report to the Republic of Kiribati is published below: a nation home to just one endemic bird but which over-compensates in seabirds including noddies, terns, boobies, shearwaters, petrels and storm-petrels plus this Greater Frigatebird bird-photo-tours.com/report/kiribat…

@Photos2Print You’re right Mark.

@BirdPhotoTours Great shot - does not really look like the standard White-eyes👍🏽

@mikevwvo @Tironianae US$2000 on a state pension is unrealistic. A typical state pension would pay around US$1000, any excess over that must be funded via a private pension.

@Tironianae Social Security needs to be a minimum of $2000/month for retirees who've worked and paid into the system for 40 years.

“I worked for 36 YEARS. Paid taxes EVERY year. Did everything right.” Outside the Social Security office, she’s trying to understand why her check is only $876 a month “After a LIFETIME of work — this is all I get. Meanwhile, billions are sent to people who never paid a dime.”

@LWestwoodAuthor Thanks Laurence. Thankfully whilst still going for mammals, they tend to stick to smaller mammals!

@BirdPhotoTours Great photo, Nick!!! I guess it's trying to decide whether you're lunch or not....
