Those who are beginner birders or bird photographers, and who always enjoyed traveling abroad, must have asked themselves how to combine the two. Until now, they have perhaps just watched and photographed the birds in their vicinity, or at hotspots in their home country.
They probably have a bucket list of places to visit and may even have a bucket list of birds and mammals to see.
How can they include some birding on their overseas holiday without getting overwhelmed and without feeling intimidated by hardcore birders who seek to see every single lookalike little brown job on the planet?
They just want to see some of the more iconic birds and mammals of the destination, and also get a feel of the country and the place they are visiting, without the stress of perhaps missing a species or two.
It is quite clear that the regular 2-3 week hardcore birding tour is not their cup of tea.
