Guianan Cock of the Rock by Diego Calderon. Our October 2019 tour is confirmed and there are just a few spaces left! Diego Calderon will lead this trip for Sunrise Birding with the country's top local guides. This trip always fills (maximum 9 pax) so don't miss out. Our itinerary includes all the top sites as well as the spectacular Kaieteur Falls. We are visiting at the best time of year when important trees are fruiting providing food for Aracaris, Toucanets, Cotingas, Fruitcrows, and Bellbirds. By using local guides and lodges, we support conservation initiatives and sustainable tourism. We include visits to sites for specialties like Red Siskin and the stunning Sun Parakeet and we have enlisted the help of the country's best local guides to help us find these stunning birds. With brightly colored Cotingas, Guianan Cock-of-the Rock, Harpy Eagle, the rarely seen Crested Doradito, the strange Capuchinbird and an endless supply of fantastic species, this is indeed a trip that no birder should miss!

SERBIA: Long-eared Owl Spectacle!
January 10 - 19, 2020
Info & reservations>
Contact gina@sunrisebirding.com NOW to hold your place!

Serbia has rapidly become one of the most talked about birding destinations in Eastern Europe. Why? Because, it is the best place in the world to see Long-eared Owls in incredible numbers right in the town square of Kikinda in northern Serbia!

Join us to experience the spectacle of the Long-eared Owl winter gathering in this world famous town. The town's main square holds huge gatherings of Long-eared Owls, upwards of 800 in some years, and has been declared by the local government as a nature reserve.

Our itinerary features wintering Long-eared, Short-eared, Barn and Little Owls, waterfowl, passerines, flocks of thousands of Common Cranes, White-fronted Goose and the odd Lesser White-fronted and Red-breasted Goose that might mingle among them. Other expected birds include Bearded Tit, Caspian Gull, Ferruginous Duck, Hen Harrier, Marsh Harrier, Marsh Tit, Penduline Tit, Pygmy Cormorant, Short-toed Treecreeper, Eurasian Sparrowhawk, Syrian Woodpecker and White-tailed Eagle to name a few.

Adding to the experience will be the celebrated hospitality and cuisine of northern Serbia. Despite the cold of winter, this trip is relatively easy paced with little walking and we will never be too far away from a cup of coffee because most of our birding will around towns.

Join Sunrise Birding for a unique look at the incredible gathering of owls in Kikinda and experience the wonders of winter in northern Serbia!
