We’re up in Orkney this week, and enjoyed our first full day on the islands today in bright and breezy weather! After bumping into a smart drake Ring-necked Duck yesterday in Caithness before the ferry, and enjoying some brilliant White-tailed Eagles and Ospreys, todays highlight was close views of Red-throated Divers

WE’VE SEEN SANTA MARTA SABREWING!!

Of the 24 Santa Marta endemics this one is more or less ‘unachievable’. It went missing presumed extinct for 64 years up until 2010, then again until 2022 when it was rediscovered by chance. Its population is thought to number less than 50 individuals.

Miraculously a male showed up at Mountain House hummingbird feeders, between Minca and El Dorado (on the opposite side of the Santa Marta Mountains to its currently known range) and we saw the bird on 3/3/25 and managed to secure the following photos. The videograbs (taken by tour participant Ray Duell) show the diagnostic blue tail (coppery red in the similar Lazuline Sabrewing)

Without doubt the rarest bird we have ever seen on tour

A dazzling array of tanagers yesterday at La Florida reserve north-west of Cali, Colombia. The highlight was the endemic Multicoloured Tanager - what a bird!!!

27/02/2025

Another superb days birding at Montezuma Colombia amid some fantastic mountain scenery. Range-restricted endemics of the Choco region were the order of the day but we also got one of the mega birds of the Neotropics - Ocellated Tapaculo!

27/02/2025

A dazzling selection of Choco endemics amid a 100-species haul on the Montezuma road today for our Colombia tour group. An incredible place for birding that should be on everyone’s hit list!

Our final morning at Hacienda el Bosque, east of Manizales, was spent visiting the feeding stations for Crescent-faced and Equatorial Antpittas. Both these star attractions showed up plus a bonus White-browed Spinetail.

25/02/2025

A superb days birding for our Colombia tour group in the vicinity of Nevada del Ruiz volcano, east of Manizales. We spent most of the day in the paramo at 3000-4000m elevation, ending the day at the fabulous Hacienda el Bosque reserve

24/02/2025

Our new tour combining the antpittas of Manizales, choco region of the Western Andes near Cali and endemics of Santa Marta aims to cover some of the best birding areas of Colombia in one trip. We’ve kicked things off well with 180 species in two days and some absolute corkers amongst them!

Our Story

Welcome, and thank you for visiting Oriole Birding’s page! If you are looking for a birdwatching holiday, either in the UK or abroad, we are sure that we have something for you.

We hope you will agree that our tours offer the complete bird tour package, and we are confident that there is a wildlife holiday here to suit everyone. Whether you are after a short break enjoying winter wildfowl on the Norfolk coast or an exciting birding adventure to a far flung overseas destination, you will find something here. We remain firmly committed to the value for money, small group ethos that has served the company so well over the years, and unlike so many other tour operators, our definition of a small group really does mean that. With Oriole Birding, expect the personal touch and a tour that represents excellent value without compromising on quality.

As well as aiming to deliver a tour which offers you the best chance to see the birds and wildlife that you want to see, we feel it is important to have fun in the process and our tours therefore operate in a relaxed atmosphere. We always aim to use the best accommodation in each area we visit, and we always try to ensure these are well situated with good amenities and wherever possible are en suite. It is the personal touch that has allowed Oriole Birding to blossom in a very competitive industry and it is this friendly and personal service that we think has set us aside from other companies.
