      Sadly, not a bird family I can see "at home", since I'm from Sweden.
      Me and my partner had planned to go to Bhutan spring 2021. That won't happen. This Corona-pandemic has kinda forced me to an earlier retirement (April 2021) than previously planned, and I won't be a wealthy retiree. I might be able to do one or two more big trips, and have to choose carefully where to go. Australia and New Zeeland is top priority, but will be expensive.

      @@alanadare7052 One bird-observation, close to your coveted Grey Honeyeater, was when we found Dull-colored Grassquit in Ecuador. It was a lifer for our guide Jonas Nilsson, who had lived and worked there for ages and never seen it. High fives all around! And it lives up to its name, it's just... brown and grey. That was 2007. Naturally, when at last the bird was seen the first time, we saw it the next time we had him as a guide in 2011.

      Marten, We try to feature the natural sound when it is playable but in our situation where we do not have a Sound Crew to go out and get pure sound usually at sunrise which is added onto the video separately at post production. In our situation when we film it's windy or other irritating sounds like Motor cars/talking distract from the natural setting so most film makers add music to make it less of a problem. Easier but not as good as the natural sounds.This is the problem we have Marten, thanks for your feedback.

    I've just binge watched all episodes, you guys do a great show and obviously have an amazing passion. As an Australian now living in Switzerland but originally Sydney and started breeding birds in the early 70's its fab to see home and abroad. I've lived in both Jakarta and Bali and managed a hotel called Begawan Giri (actually opened it) and the owner Bradley Gardner put an amazing amount of effort into breeding the Bali Starling (I was there 1998 and he had already done a lot) to reintroduce to the wild so it was great to see
