Upcoming expeditions

Bird Ringing

July and October

Perú

Manu (Cusco)

Bird ringing in Manu, Peru. The place with the greatest bird diversity in the world.

If you want information about upcoming ringing expeditions (limited places) to Brazil, Kenya, Madagascar or the Philippines, write to me!

Chocó is considered the bioregion in the world with the greatest diversity of birds (1,547 species). We will return to do an extensive and intense ringing campaign in forests, mangroves, beaches and islands. Everything is yet to be studied there.

Senegal

August 4th to September 7th, 2025

Senegal Bird Observatory

Senegal has 674 bird species, but most importantly, it is the first large green and riverine area in the Sahel after the vast Sahara Desert. It is an essential, fundamental enclave for the migration of European birds and for the wintering of many species. Among them, the most endangered passerine in Europe, the Aquatic warbler.

Perú

October 20 to November 14, 2025

Manu Bird Observatory

What can you say about a place where we captured 90 species in two mornings? Manu is the enclave in the world with the greatest diversity of birds and we need your help to learn more and discover more. We will be here for a month.

Brazil

November 14-23, 2025

Curitiba

A fascinating and highly significant event. We are going to create a ringing station, accompanied by great international experts. Come and be part of this historic moment.

Cameroun

December, 2-9, 2025

Djerem National Park

With 954 species, Cameroon is a spectacular country for wintering European birds, but also with a great diversity of resident species. The aim of this expedition is to create the first Ornithology Laboratory in the country.

Bénin

December 12-18, 2025

First Bird Ringing Station

It is estimated that there are more than 600 species of birds in Benin. There is a real lack of information and we are dealing with a very important country in terms of African tropical residents and European winterers. However, no ringing has ever taken place in this country and it is our duty to open this door of history for the study and conservation of the birds of Benin and tropical Africa.

Sénégal

January 9-19, 2026

Parc National des Oiseaux (Delta du Senegal)

Colombia

February 3 to March 2, 2026

Chocó Bird Observatory
and Verde & Agua Bird Observatory

One month! Chocó is considered the bioregion in the world with the greatest diversity of birds (1,547 species). We will be there for three weeks and then move on to a private Andean park with totally different species, a bird observatory created in 2024 where, in one hour, we have managed to capture 42 species.

Last January I had the opportunity to give a workshop on bird ringing for several days at the Master of Ornithology at the Gaston-Berger University in Saint Louis (Senegal). I was accompanied by European and African ringers and students from eight African countries. The location was also a privilege: the Langue de Barbarie National Park.
All those who want to support scientific ringing in Africa are welcome!

Côte d'Ivoire

Second ringing camp in the country's

As of 2025 (see video), we will be holding the second ringing camp in the country’s history. This time, in addition to the resident species, we will have the European wintering species.
