The following lists and gives links to the relevant blogs of all the foreign birding and some family trips that I have been fortunate enough to have done. It is ordered by year with the most recent first.�Blogs of the older trips use scanned slides, some having degraded badly with age, or digitised prints of varying quality.�Some use photos taken by those I was with. These are usually easy to tell as they are significantly better than mine (and�in most cases�acknowledged). Many of the older blogs are based on my unreliable memories as my notes were very lacking in detail, other than the birds seen, something I now greatly regret. The blogs were initially�done to find a 'home' for boxes of old slides which I had not looked at for years, my dad giving me his slide scanner providing the necessary impetus to digitise them. Doing these blogs has brought back many very happy memories, and a few sad ones.�I�ve been very fortunate to have various like-minded friends�whom I have been able to travel with. Sadly an increasing number are no longer with us.

Kagu, New Caledonia August 1998 (digitised print originally taken with an instamatic).� One of my all-time top four birds. Giant Pitta (1987), displaying Wilson's Bird of Paradise (1993) and displaying Western Parotia (2013) are the others.
