Four 21-day expeditions a year, each led by expert ornithologists. From Anatolian endemics to Amazonian jewels — fully guided, fully catered, never crowded.
We keep groups tiny, guides world-class, and logistics invisible — so you can focus on the canopy.
Never more than 12 guests, so every scope view and every call is shared without a scrum.
Resident ornithologists and local trackers who know the territory call-by-call, season-by-season.
21 days, all lodging, internal transfers, permits and meals handled. You bring binoculars; we bring everything else.
A new corner of the world every quarter — book one, or follow the whole circuit.
"We saw the Resplendent Quetzal on day three. I've waited forty years for that bird."
"Eight guests, two guides, zero chaos. The most relaxed serious birding I've ever done."
"The Gambia trip added 190 lifers to my list. Logistics were absolutely flawless."

Small-group journeys pairing world-class archaeology with a feature bird every day — from Göbekli Tepe and the Hittites to the wetlands, lakes and mountains of Anatolia.
BirdTwitcher was built by two field naturalists who were tired of crowded, rushed tours. We run a handful of trips a year, lead them ourselves, and treat every guest like a fellow birder.
We started BirdTwitcher in 2024 with one rule: keep groups small enough that everyone gets the bird. That hasn't changed. We cap every expedition at twelve, travel slowly, and spend our days where the birds are — not in transit.
Between us we've guided across the Western Palearctic, West Africa, Southeast Asia and the Neotropics. We handle every detail ourselves, from the lodges to the local trackers we've worked with for years, so you can keep your eyes on the canopy.
Ali Hakan is a licensed professional guide with more than 25 years in the field — from classical Anatolia and the battlefields of Troy and Gallipoli to the Lycian Way and the Kaçkar Mountains. With an MA in Ancient Greek Language & Literature and a background in Space Sciences & Astronomy, he weaves archaeology, history and nature into every journey, and leads our Türkiye & Cyprus and cultural expeditions.
Erica is a naturalist and wildlife photographer who fell for the tropics on her first trip to Costa Rica and never looked back. She leads our Malaysia & Borneo and Costa Rica & South America expeditions, with a gift for finding skulking pittas and a deep knowledge of Neotropical hummingbirds. She also runs our conservation partnerships.
