The best birdwatching experiences in Bolivia

BIRDING IN BOLIVIA

(PART 1 )

Bolivia is one of the worlds most underrated Birding destinations on the planet. In fact it boosts the highest amount of bird species for any landlocked country on the planet. In additon its also home to some incredible endemic species such as the critically endangered Blue throated and Red Fronted Macaws. 

See the gallery below for some of the bird species recorded during our Bolivian Birdwatching tour 

1: Harpy Eagle 

This incredible Harpy Eagle was recorded during an expedition in the Amazon Region of Bolivia.

2: Red Fronted Macaw 

This endemic and sadly now critically endangered Macaw can be seeen during our Bolivian Macaw or Eastern Bolivia birding tour.

Blue throated Macaw

 

This endemic and sadly critically endangered Macaw is only found in a few select areas on earth. Our expert guides know the best location to see the Blue throated Macaw in their natural habitats.

These are just a few of the incredible bird species which can be observed while birding in Bolivia. For more information about birdwatching trips around Bolivia contact Nicks Adventures Bolivia at www.nicksadventuresbolivia.com.

RARE HARPY EAGLE SIGHTING IN BOLIVIA

RARE HARPY EAGLE SIGHTING IN BOLIVIA

From my first memories of seeing the majestic Harpy Eagle on National Geographic , it was always a bird i have dreamt of seeing. On the 25th of January 2019 that dream became a reality.

The Harpy Eagle or flying Wolf as many call them is the holy grail for birdwatchers, this rare and elusive Raptor is the king of the skys and its rein of terror among Sloths and Monkeys is the stuff of legends.

After recieving  call about a possible Harpy Eagle in a private Reserve, i was on the next plane and on route to hopefully have a sighting, considering the areas last sighting was over 5 years ago and its easily confused with the Crested Eagle i didnt have my hopes set too high. 

On route to where the Harpy Eagle was spotted 

The first scouting trip was unsucessful , we did see an Osprey, Pink River Dolphins, Red Howler Monkeys and even a King Vulture, however luck was not on our side. Still optimistic we left and decided to come back the next day. 

The next day we set out again and almost immedietly we were in luck, sitting just a few hundreds metres was this impressive beast of a bird, one which had eluded me in literally hundreds of Amazon trips. 

BELOW ARE SOME FINAL IMAGES OF THIS INCREDIBLE RAPTOR
