gryllosblog   Gryllo's (aka Ian Lewis') blog. All things to do with travel, wildlife especially birds, history, architecture and anything else that interests me.

The Colombia trip continues to go well, but a lack of internet connection has meant I have been unable to post any updates. We are now at Medellin, the counties second city and tomorrow we fly to the Pacific coast.

Birding has been successful and I have added some 34 species to my world list so far, at times it has been slow at other times very exciting. Some of the slogs uphill have been arduous but well worthwhile. Unfortunately illness in one of the other participants has created some difficulties and delays. He is flying home tomorrow instead of continuing with the tour. I wish him a speedy recovery.

I have taken quite a few pictures, some of which I will post as soon as I return to the UK.
