Indonesia – Sulawesi and Moluccas July 2019

Here is a collection of photographs from a 4 week trip that I undertook in Indonesia during July 2019. The Sulawesi part I done on my own then the following 3 weeks was a private trip organised by James Eaton along with Mark Sutton, Mike Edgecombe, John Gregory, Billy Rogers and Gerry Richards.

Popayatu, Sulawesi

This site in the north of Sulawesi is where the Snoring Rail had been seen recently. I spent 3 days here and I heard it each day but only had a brief view on one occasion. One morning it was vocal for 45 mins but the other days just the occasional random call.

Ternate

We sat at the hide waiting for the North Moluccan Pitta to show but it remained a heard only but a North Moluccan Kingfisher nesting nearby was a very nice side show.
