Pacific Coast & Deserts<br />
Fri 5-Tue 16 September (12 days)<br />
Small group tour with Chris Charlesworth<br />
The Pacific coast and deserts of southern California at a time when autumn<br />

all those alluring West Coast specialities and endemics, including California<br />
Thrasher, California Gnatcatcher and California Towhee. It’s a journey that will<br />
take you from the searing Salton Sea depression, 220 feet below sea level,<br />
up into the cool pine forests of the San Jacinto Mountains at 6000 feet; and<br />
from the creosote brush flats of the Mojave Desert to the incredible scenery<br />
of Joshua Tree National Park. Throw in two great boat trips in search of Blue<br />
Whale and the unique Island Scrub Jay for a tour packed with excitements.<br />

Cape May in Autumn<br />
Sat 27 September-Sun 5 October (9 days)<br />
Single-centre, small group tour with Brian Small<br />
Cape May is North America’s premier migration hotspot in autumn. It’s a time<br />
when masses of wildfowl, waders, warblers and other migrants crowd the<br />
coastal woods and marshes - and a key staging post for southbound birds<br />
of prey, too! Relaxed and easy paced, this late September tour will show you<br />
everything from Cedar Waxwings, Blue Jays and Northern Flickers on the move,<br />
to the tagging of Monarch butterflies on their southward migration to Mexico.<br />

Central & South<br />
America<br />
Join any one of our tours to Central or South America<br />
and you will soon realise why this southern landmass<br />
is also known as the ‘Bird Continent’. The diversity of<br />
species, colour and form is simply extraordinary, with<br />
more than 3000 species recorded! Our varied annual<br />
programme of tours extends from the shores of the<br />
Caribbean in the north, to the remote Falkland Islands<br />
in the south. While the wealth of South American bird<br />
species can seem overwhelming to first-time visitors,<br />
we have a range of tours in our programme to cater<br />
for your every need. 2014 sees fresh itineraries for our<br />
trips to the Yucatan (with a short extension to Cozumel<br />
Island) in Mexico, and a superb new three-centre tour<br />
to Trinidad & Tobago in late March, when the islands’<br />
birds will be busy nesting - and the giant Leatherback<br />
Turtles should be coming ashore at night - on the<br />
beach right outside our hotel - to do the same!<br />
FALKLAND ISLANDS<br />
South Atlantic Wildlife Spectacular<br />
Wed 8-Wed 22 January (15 days)<br />
Small group tour with Tim Earl<br />
Journey with us to the most accessible of the sub-Antarctic islands: the<br />
fabulous Falklands. A land of intimate wildlife encounters, with albatrosses,<br />
penguins, sea-lions, elephant seals - and more! With flights with the RAF via<br />
a refuelling stop on remote Ascension Island, the Falklands historically offer<br />
tourists a warm and very British welcome. Our guide Tim Earl is a veteran of<br />
well over 20 tours to the islands, and knows the Falklands’ birds and wildlife<br />
with an intimacy few can match.<br />

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO<br />
Stepping Stones to South America<br />
Thu 23 January-Tue 4 February (13 days)<br />
Two-centre tour with Richard Thaxton & local guides<br />
Our January tour to the twin island paradise of Trinidad and Tobago offers<br />
both a welcome mid-winter escape and the best possible introduction to the<br />
natural riches of the Caribbean. Seven nights at the famous Asa Wright Centre<br />
on Trinidad, followed by four at a beachside hotel on Tobago, enjoying the<br />
islands’ tropical rainforests, seabirds and coral reefs. It’s a tour crammed with<br />
delights: oilbirds and oropendolas, hummingbirds and honeycreepers, and<br />
a mangrove boat trip for roosting Scarlet Ibis - plus quite a bit of rum punch!<br />
