On our tour around the Pacific we saw four fantastic species of parrots in the genus Vini. All were spectacular lookers, though this one, the stunning Blue-crowned Lorikeet seen on Samoa, was the hardest to track down perched. After numerous flyovers and some brief perched views, we eventually found a stand of flowering trees where they were feeding, revealing all of their brilliant colours!... Pete

Northern Peru ranks among the most exciting birding destinations in South America, combining an extraordinary diversity of birdlife with an impressive array of highly localized specialties. On our latest tour, we recorded nearly 770 species in just 22 birding days, with all the major targets seen well and a host of unexpected surprises making this an especially memorable tour. - Leo Garrigues

Buru Thrush was one of the many highlight on our Indonesia's Moluccan Islands tour. We had to try finding several birds heard from the car while driving higher on the a logging track to finally connect with one. This individual being rather cooperative sat still for many minutes.

A fabulous dose of total cuteness!! This little bundle of fluff was squeaking its way around the forest floor at Riviere Bleu on New Caledonia. A little more retiring than its parents, this is of course a juvenile Kagu!!...Pete

Well I'm back home after an epic five weeks of travelling around some fantastic Pacific Islands. A final morning stroll along the beach on Rarotonga left me with a nice tropical vibe as these gorgeous Blue-billed White Terns were busy in courtship, and looking for nesting sites... Pete

Fiji really is the land of the dove, being home to some of the most incredible species in what is a large and diverse family. The tiny Whistling Dove (formerly Velvet Dove) is endemic to the small island of Kadavu where its bizarre calls are easy to hear in the canopy. Seeing one is a different matter, as the beautiful green and golden hues of its velvety plumage camouflage so well in the foliage! What a little stunner!... Pete

Our target today was the brilliant Blue Lorikeet, and we seem to have done OK! We visited Aitutaki in the northern Cook Islands, home to the largest population of this rare bird, which is listed as vulnerable, due particularly to their vulnerability to introduced Black Rats. It seems that the population here was most likely introduced by early settlers, but we enjoyed them nevertheless!... Pete

During the last days of the Djibouti - Somaliland tour, we visited the famous Daallo escarpment where it took a while to find all the specialities, including Warsangli Linnet and Somali Golden-winged Grosbeak (no photos). The glorious plains gave us beauties like Heuglin's Bustard, Somali Lark, the elegant Beira and Lichtenstein's Sandgrouse. The tour produced all the expected goodies. - Mark Van Beirs

The sensational Kuhl's Lorikeet is arguably the Cook Islands' most spectacular endemic. Sadly, it was eradicated from all the major islands through persecution for the cagebird trade and introduced predators. Luckily it survived on some remote islands where it had been introduced by traders, and now has been re-established on Atiu, in the Cook Islands, thanks to some amazing conservation efforts. Twenty years on, and this little gem is thriving! ...Pete

Our final island group on our 'Pacific Odyssey' is the Cook Islands! We began our time here with a visit to the quiet island of Mangaia, home to two of the Cook Island endemics. Our very first endemic was the superb Mewing Kingfisher, with several seen well. This fine male was found quietly foraging in trackside vegetation... Pete
