One of the nice things of spending the quarantine in Peru : I have three different species of parrots that regularly turn up in the trees outside our windows! Posted 5 years ago

  Whoa! If not too private, can you describe your situation? Stationary? Doing a tour? Posted 5 years ago

    So I've been in Peru since January, where I was invited to be an instructor (on birds obviously) for a field biology course given to Andean undergrads. It was supposed to end at the end of march, but because of the lockdown, we've been stuck in the offices since. Fortunately, we're on the very edge of town, so we get some nice birds that turn up in the trees outside :) Posted 5 years ago

      So the instructing cannot continue and you have to stay where you are for a while? Posted 5 years ago

        We only lost a few days of field work, and we managed to wrap up the course. Now we're just waiting for the lockdown to end so that they can go home, and in my case I can resume my travels. Posted 5 years ago
