TRIP REPORTS

 

Sometimes between tours, we find time to prepare reports on Birding Mato Grosso's many successful custom tours. Many tour companies manage to produce beautifully-illustrated reports for each and every tour, with jaw-dropping photographs of astonishing birds and mammals, enough to entice any warm-blooded birder to open a web browser to check prices on flights. Unfortunately, Bradley's rather bumbling approach to photography doesn't really have quite the same effect. Nevertheless, now and again he prepares a reasonable tour report and publishes it in this space. The backlog is quite large now, though, and although we are eternally optimistic, we are slowly resigning ourselves to the fact that a trip report is not always forthcoming. All that said, our small group sizes, customized itineraries, and personal attention during the trip hopefully mean that a tour report isn't always a necessity for our participants to recall a trip's great moments.
