A 2-week trip to Suriname for some tropical birding in a corner of South America where we hadn’t been before. After having birded in South America for 4 months already this year it felt good returning to the continent after a few months in the Netherlands. The first 5 days we rented a car and birded around Paramaribo and Zanderij. For the last 10 days we arranged transport and guiding through Fred Pansa (fredecotours@hotmail.com) to visit Zintete Lodge (aka Fredberg) and Brownsberg. Most of the country still consists of endless forest and good birding sites are therefore reachable within a few hours from the airport. In all this made for a very relaxed birding trip that we would definitely recommend.
