- As I planned and daydreamed about the trip many months ago I correctly surmised that Peru was not a country that one could “do” in a single trip, or even three or four....Francis Toldi Reports.
Northern

finding Scarlet Backed Woodpecker, Harris Hawk, Peruvian
Pygmy Owl, the red form, and Blue-gray Tanager....Joan
Munns reports.
Northern
Peru October/November 2005
- Peru
is a special place, from the rich Humboldt Current and
the majestic Andes, to the lush Amazon rainforest. Between these
extremes are dry forest, high elevation grasslands and cloud
forests that result in an unsurpassed geographic and climatic
diversity that is reflected in the high number of bird species....Jan
Vermeulen reports

- From 29 july to 26 august 2005 I made a birding trip to

Peru July
2005
- Peru has to be one of the most excting
birding destinations on the planet. It has probably the first
or second highest number of species for any country (1,850+)
and encompasses the Andes, Amazon rainforest, dry west coast,
Humbolt current, Cloud forest, etc. etc.....Stuart

Peru Jul - 2003 635 Bird Species recorded
- As we pulled up, a Peruvian Seaside Cinclodes was seen and showed really well on the cliff top. The view here was amazing as we looked across at the really high sheer cliffs. Below us, we watched in amazement at the stunning Inca Terns flying around and we found some perched on ledges quite close to us...Nick Bray reports for Birdseekers

A birdwatching trip to Peru November
2002
- Peru is a special place, from the rich Humboldt
Current and the majestic Andes, to the lush Amazon rainforest.
Between these extremes are dry forest, high elevation grasslands
and cloud forests that result in an unsurpassed geographic and
climatic diversity that is reflected in the high number of bird
species. Indeed, with nearly 1,800 species recorded within its
borders, Peru runs head to head with Colombia in being the country
with the largest number of bird species in the world...Jan
Vermeulen reports.
Northern Peru June
and November 2002
- In the higher temperate and subtropical elevations
birds like Royal Sunagel, Bar-winged Wood-Wren, Cinnamon-breasted
Tody-Tyrant and Lulu's Tody-Flycatcher can be found. Squawking
pairs of Golden-plumed Parakeets frequent ridge-top forests where
palms persist and on both tours we had excellent views of the
rare Orange-breasted Falcon...Colin Bushell of
Toucan Tours reports.
Wild Peru - Rio de Las Piedras,
Tambopata and the Andes 11 July 2002
- August 30th 2002
- The whole trip was absolutely stunning and
I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone. It's got to be up there
as some of the best birding in the world - some people say it
is the best. A trip that incorporates the high Andes and
the lowlands will produce an excellent trip list and a stunning
example of how bird distribution changes with altitude...Tim
Allwood reports

Manu National Park,
Peru August-October 2001
- In terms of birds, pride of place goes
to the tame group of Pale-winged Trumpeters that we studied
at Cocha Cashu for two months. Other highlights were Solitary
Eagle, Scarlet-shouldered Parakeet, Pheasant Cuckoo, Rufous-vented
Ground-cuckoo, White-throated Jacamar, Collared Puffbird....Joe

Peru 17th
November to 23rd December 2002
- Planning is the key and we planned this leg
of an 11 month trip to fit in with being in other parts of the
world at optimum times.November/ early December is the latest
you would want to travel along the Manu road, and by the time
we got to Amazonia Lodge it was very wet and some of the trails
were flooded. Manu is virtually out of bounds between January
and March/April as it is flooded....Neil Osborne

Screaming Pihas calling...Simon Hartill reports.

- The visit included three distinct areas;
the Peruvian coast and offshore islands of the Paracas peninsula,
the Amazon rain forest along the River Tambopata, and the Andes
mountains of the Inca trail. There was relatively little overlap
in species between these three regions and each is treated separately...Dr
EFJ Garcia reports

- This trip focused on south-east Peru, with
emphasis given to the Humboldt current seabirds on the Ballestas
Islands, the cultural experience of flying over the Nasca Lines,
the Amazon Rainforest in Tambopata and the Inca Trail through
the Andes to Machu Picchu.....We recorded 385 species in Peru,

ever recorded in Peru but included a number of fantastic birds
and trip highlights, including many endemics and range-restricted,
rare, or just difficult-to-see species...Andy Tucker reports
