Some folks are into the endemics, in the Caribbean there are many of them – Trinidad Motmot and Trinidad Piping-Guan from my native T&T, also Purple-throated Carib (endemic to the Lesser Antilles) takes the breath away from anyone who sees that bird properly. In Solomon Islands most of the birds there are birds people have never seen before due to the sheer level of endemism there coupled with the area’s remoteness. Even something as nondescript as Solomon’s White-eye would get folks excited. For my Africa trips the bird folks most often ask for is the Secretarybird. Others are seeking the outrageous, Tufted Coquette and Guianan Cock-of-the-rock come to mind. I had one very esteemed and famous author/illustrator request Caribbean Martin as well – a bird that often goes on the list while driving from one place to another. All this to drive the point home that all birds are amazing and deserve adulation (and to reiterate my answer to the first question).</p><p><em>Solomon’s White-eye</em></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-lazyloaded="1" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MzAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjMwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjMwIDYzMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4=" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="630" height="630" data-src="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/solomons-white-eye-5596-_1-630x630.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-166590" data-srcset="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/solomons-white-eye-5596-_1-630x630.jpg 630w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/solomons-white-eye-5596-_1-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/solomons-white-eye-5596-_1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/solomons-white-eye-5596-_1.jpg 740w" data-sizes="auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /></figure><p>C<em>arribean Martin</em></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-lazyloaded="1" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MzAiIGhlaWdodD0iNDIwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjMwIDQyMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4=" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="630" height="420" data-src="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/caribbean-martin-2_1-2-630x420.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-166587" data-srcset="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/caribbean-martin-2_1-2-630x420.jpg 630w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/caribbean-martin-2_1-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/caribbean-martin-2_1-2-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/caribbean-martin-2_1-2-255x170.jpg 255w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/caribbean-martin-2_1-2-345x230.jpg 345w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/caribbean-martin-2_1-2.jpg 740w" data-sizes="auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /></figure><p><strong>Can you outline at least one typical birdwatching trip in your area? Please briefly<br>describe the locations, the key birds, and the approximate duration of such a trip</strong></p><p>Tough to say given that I take people to so many places. But for T&T trips we try to cover as many varied habitats as possible while going at an easy enough pace such that folks do not need a vacation after their birding tour. I also do not use any lures, bait, or audio playback while guiding as I’ve found that our physical presence in the habitat is already more than enough disturbance. On my trips, we start early, bird whichever location it is, then break for when the day warms too much. I am a bit of a foodie and this always factors in my tours, so folks are always very well fed – oftentimes by award-winning chefs. One of my clients this year asked me how is it that so many of my friends just happen to be chocolatiers. I advised them that friends must always be chosen wisely. </p><p><em>Secretarybird</em></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-lazyloaded="1" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MzAiIGhlaWdodD0iNDIxIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjMwIDQyMSI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4=" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="630" height="421" data-src="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/secretarybird-9755-_1-630x421.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-166592" data-srcset="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/secretarybird-9755-_1-630x421.jpg 630w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/secretarybird-9755-_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/secretarybird-9755-_1-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/secretarybird-9755-_1-255x170.jpg 255w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/secretarybird-9755-_1-345x230.jpg 345w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/secretarybird-9755-_1.jpg 740w" data-sizes="auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /></figure><p><strong>What other suggestions can you give to birders interested in your area? (for example, what to bring, which season to choose, etc.)</strong></p><p>Weather-wise it is most pleasant from November through April in T&T. The Atlantic hurricane season dictates our trips in the rest of the Caribbean, so we advise any time between January to June for those islands. For Guyana we go when it is not raining at all as rain can make roads impassable – October/November and February/March are good months. East Africa we try to do in June just after the rains, so it’s as lush as can be. Solomon Islands we avoid cyclones so schedule those trips for July/August. Always bring mosquito repellent, sunscreen, a hat, a small umbrella or raincoat (sometimes showers can be unpredictable), good shoes, comfortable clothing (usually long pants and sleeves for bugs and plant irritants), and most importantly, good vibes.</p><p><em>Guianan Cock-of-the-rock</em></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-lazyloaded="1" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI2MzAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjMwIiB2aWV3Qm94PSIwIDAgNjMwIDYzMCI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSIgc3R5bGU9ImZpbGw6I2NmZDRkYjtmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk6IDAuMTsiLz48L3N2Zz4=" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="630" height="630" data-src="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/guianan-cock-of-the-rock-9134-_1-630x630.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-166591" data-srcset="https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/guianan-cock-of-the-rock-9134-_1-630x630.jpg 630w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/guianan-cock-of-the-rock-9134-_1-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/guianan-cock-of-the-rock-9134-_1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/guianan-cock-of-the-rock-9134-_1.jpg 740w" data-sizes="auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /></figure><p><strong>If any reader of 10,000 Birds is interested in birding with you, how can they best contact you?</strong></p><p>Directly via email at <a href="mailto:faraaz.abdool@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">faraaz.abdool@gmail.com</a> is always the best bet!
