WILD SPAIN Far from the tourist development of the Mediterranean coast, Extremadura holds a wealth of birds in a fantastic setting. Bustards, vultures, Bee-eaters and Rollers are just some of the delights, while in the Pyrenees we will look for Lammergeier and other montane specialties.

BORNEO A wealth of endemic on the slopes of the majestic Mount Kinabalu, including Whitehead's Broadbill and Whitehead's Trogon, followed by a visit to the superb lowland rain forest of Danum Valley (surely one of the best birdwatching venues in the whole world, with Orang-utan almost guaranteed) and finally the wildlife-rich Kinabatangan River.
