Errática Birding & Expeditions

2 months ago

Excellent and very enthusiastic and passionate birding guide! Our host in Puerto Natales recommended and setup the one day of birding with Jorge of Erratica. Jorge had planned our birding hotspots, but quickly customized it based on my target list. He picked us up at 6AM and we were reminding him to start driving back from Cerro Guido as it was nearly 12 hours of birding and he was supposed to drive back to his home in Punta Arenas (a three hour drive!), but he kept taking us to more spots - and that shows how he enjoys this activity! We saw many species (over 30 species) and many lifers among them - Austral Pygmy-owl, Least Seedsnipe, Grey-breasted Seedsnipe, Magellanic Snipe, Flying Steamer Duck, etc. He speaks excellent English and we enjoyed the day with him - with his very sunny and cheerful demeanour! Highly recommend going birding with Jorge. Wish we had more days available to do so.

Had a days birding with Jorge, south of Punta Arenas. He picked us up from our cruise ship and off we went. What a great day. 53 Species including 6 lifers. Jorge’s birding skilled were excellent. He knew where to find our target birds, and went the extra mile to find them. The lunch he supplied was amazing. He would be our first choice for birding in this area if we ever return. 5 Star trip.

Went to Mt. Tarn, very organised and knowledgeable not just about birds but about plants and monuments. You can view his ebird to see what is usually seen. We got very good views of rufous legged owl and white bellied seedsniped as well as some smaller forest birds. No hummingbirds/parrots but that was okay, it's a very interesting habitat and I am glad that I was able to see it. Price is much more reasonable than any alternative. Would be unsafe without a guide.
