Biking Birder Evening Talk

PERU 2018 - Biking Birder IV
Wigan RSPB Local Group website
Tonight, at 7:45pm, I will be giving a talk about my Biking Birder IV - Peruvian Green Birding adventure.
Bike and Packraft, in 2018 I cycled from Lima to the Amazonian region, crossing The Andes.
Arriving in the Manu National Park, cycling down the world famous birding Manu Road, I gave my bike away to local indigenous children and packrafted down the mighty Madre de Dios river, a large tributary of the Amazon.
Push, paddle and plummet - my aim was to beat the number of bird species seen without using fossil fuel by the phenomenal Dorian Anderson. Dorian saw an incredible 618 bird species when he cycled around the USA.

Dorian's book is a proud testimony, not only to his amazing cycling adventure but his will to conquer drug and alcohol addiction.
Did I manage to beat Dorian's World Green Birding record?
