Tim Appleton MBE, founder of Global Birding, thanks Naturetrek staff, leaders and clients for their support during Global Bird Weekend. Read his message of thanks here.

The chances are that just about everyone reading this will be desperate to travel soon, to book an escape far away from our current circumstances as soon as possible. But where should we venture? Read a selection of 16 of our favourite wildlife holidays to remote places to book for 2021/22.

Read about highlights from recent tours to Italy, Germany, Scotland and Dorset.

We were only too happy to put forward a Naturetrek team to support Global Bird Weekend, comprising not only members of our office and UK-based tour leaders, but of our leaders in Colombia, the USA, the Falklands, India, Spain, Australia, Peru, Italy, Argentina and Guyana, who we rallied to join us in full force!

For our October tour leader interview we join General Manager Andy Tucker who describes testing his bird ID skills as a child, his later years guiding in South America and the current conservation projects which interest him most.
