Peak Birdwatching breeding season (March and April) is here. Many of the resident species are more inclined to be singing or calling and are therefore more easily located. The early wet season, during May to July, is also a very interesting time for the birdwatcher, especially since many species are still feeding fledged young.
In addition, some ground feeding species such as pittas and thrushes, which favor wetter conditions, now start to breed. There maybe short rain showers at this time, the weather is seldom bad enough to interfere too much with birdwatching as it rains mostly at night. make your reservations now as available dates are filling up fast.
