A two week holiday based at Apora near Baga north Goa, we birded for a couple of hours morning and evening (it got hot) as well as three days at Backwoods camp, and a trip out to Carambolin Lake and Bhatim Lake.
We saw just over 200 species which is a good count for the time of the year as all the winter visitors had virtually moved on. We used local taxis which were very cheap, starting at about six quid for a couple of hours, birding was hard due to the heat but Backwoods was superb, we had LEO for the three days and he got us 44 new species.We also used Santosh for a couple of hours which cost about eight quid and within five minutes of arriving at his site we had Indian Pitta and Brown Wood Owl, both gave stunning views.
