Lesser Sunda birding site

Birding on Rote

This small island off Timor is getting a great reputation for some of the hard to find Timor endemics, plus its own endemic forms

Seldom visited, but with a good range of local specialities, with affinities to both Flores and Timor

Easy access to some great sites and birds. A trip to Timor is well worthwhile

Easy roadside birding, beautiful scenery and amazing local culture; and a ton of endemics!

Not an easy place to get to, but anyone who tries it will be rewarded with a selection of endemics that very few people have ever seen

Great scenery and great birds. The large selection of endemics ranges from the easy to the very hard

Famous for giant lizards, but also great for Yellow-crested Cockatoo!

The short hop across Wallace’s line ensures a trip to Lombok has birds to make it worthwhile
