@shiny_africa @NyabihuDistrict @EnvironmentRw @REMA_Rwanda Nice work. I hope that you inform @NsengimanaOliv8 @RwandaWildlife conservation association. They maintain the census and do all the conservation work for the species.

@UKinRwanda @GreenFundRw @REMA_Rwanda @RDBrwanda @ntoyinkimac @Nyamagabe @AfricanParks @HSlim_Oxford @ntoyinkima is a unique talent in bird sound recognition and wildlife guiding. He has greatly assisted the work of @BirdsongPlanet since 2015. He deserves to be recognised. Happy World Wildlife Day.

@AlanDaviesbirds @Rutlandbirds Sri Lanka. A great 3 weeks birding, culture etc with husband Mike. Made 177 species including 27/35 endemics with great malkoha sightings (both species). Very good for a non-birding trip.

@AlanDaviesbirds @Rutlandbirds This sounds delightful, writing from Muscat. Stuck here since Saturday after diversion from Doha. Glad we are not in Doha! Leaving tonight. Enjoy the birding.

@GlobalBirdfair @BirdLife_News @YCNature @SeptimoParaisoM @devasar @CABS_REPORTS @canopyfamily @KSNaturePhotog1 @LinneanSociety @LondonBirdClub @CHESHIREBIRDING @SussexBirding @BirdsongPlanet We are stuck in Muscat since Saturday. Due to leave tonight via Saudi Airlines/Riyadh. I will reply next week. Nothing from Claver so he is out for now. I am encouraging a stand by African Parks at a more corporate level.

@MotherNature_Es @Uni_Rwanda @CoEBrwanda @nature_rwanda @REMA_Rwanda What a beauty, but you are right, moths have an important place in the ecosystem.

[Hilary MacBean @macbean50]

@NdikumanaL76315 @AWF_Official @IucnRwanda @RwandaRoots @REMA_Rwanda @EnvironmentRw @ARCOSNetwork @GreenFundRw @SavingGorillas @Greenpeace @UNESCO Very nice work going on at the UR Birds and Conservation Club. Keep it up!

@A_ThorpeUK @UKinRwanda @NyungwePark @visitrwanda_now @AfricanParks An exhausting climb up those hills at high altitude, 2400m. A great place to be! Magnicifant forest and wonderful birds. @BirdsongPlanet

[Hilary MacBean @macbean50]

@TarvoValker Highly recommended. I enjoyed an excellent and productive March trip last year.

[Hilary MacBean @macbean50]

@spanish_nature The thought occured to me too. An inside job or an unhinged jealousy.

[Hilary MacBean @macbean50]

@RwandaWildlife Going from strength to strength. A truly positive and passionate effort for conservation. Best wishes from an early supporter! 💚

@NdikumanaL76315 Nature repurposes and recycles 💚

[Hilary MacBean @macbean50]

@RaptorPersUK I heard the BASC response. An excuse of a discussion. A poor put up job.

[Hilary MacBean @macbean50]

@AlanDaviesbirds This species looks like a parrot met a falcon met a shrike. I think that they are quite closely related?

[Hilary MacBean @macbean50]

@SoultonHall Sad news. It is too dry.

[Hilary MacBean @macbean50]

@AlanDaviesbirds I can definitely recommend Alan, Ruth and Birdwatching Trips. Yolo was a blast on the North Wales trip. They are all great birders. And the cake......
