The Bali Starling tour

This 7 day tour is to the island of Bali in Indonesia which is famous for its beaches and party lifestyle. However, it is also a great place for birds and there are a number of sites around the island where birding can be very rewarding. Much of the western part of the island (Bali Barat) has been given over to the large West Bali National Park which covers most of the islands mountains and hills. Here there are active conservation programmes in place. The rare and striking Bali Starling, once on the brink of extinction, is gradually making a comeback with about 70 birds now in the park. The Javan Banded Pitta and Black-winged Starling can also be found here. Most of the park is fairly dense primary forest but many birds can be seen on the coast near the park headquarters.

Bali is a great stopover point when exploring different parts of Indonesia or when en route to Europe or South East Asia
