I hope that you will find the combination of photographs and trip reports included at tropicalbirdphotos.com both inspirational and useful in your own appreciation of - and planning of trips to visit - natural areas within the neo-tropical region.

Please feel free to download and use the birding trip reports to assist in your own planning. However, please also remember that the images in these reports and the photos elsewhere on this site are made available for your enjoyment and not for reproduction, so please respect the copyright by not downloading or using any of the photos unless you have requested - and received from us - explict authorisation to do so.

Many Thanks,

David Southall

The trip reports displayed on this site initially covered only Venezuela, but have now been expanded to include subsequent travels elsewhere in the Americas and Caribbean region, plus Australia/PNG and Malaysia in Asia-Pacific and Spain in Europe.

The photos - birds, mammals, other fauna and flora - initially displayed on this site were drawn principally from my extensive library of images acquired during trips around Venezuela. Over time I have added additional photos from other countries into separately labelled "Photo Galleries" folders.

The publications shown on the site are examples of work that I have had published.

The links connect with various NGOs, lodges/posadas and bird trip organisers that we recommend from personal experience and that you may also find useful.
