birding in Boquete ...a nice post of two ex birder guests and a note about booking sites

Hello All, we did have quit a bit of birdwatchers lately as guests, always great to see people walking around  with their binoculars or see them enjoying our cottages...
Two birdwatchers  did post a story about Boquete and yes... Tinamou cottage, so I like to share the link to their blog post:

When you do read their post , you will read that they did find the bird nr. 200 on our farm list...a rose throated Becard...female. I did see the bird also a couple of weeks later and 2 days ago in front of our balcony in the garden...I took a fast picture!



By the way.... sometimes we hear from guests...heeee you are not mentioned as a tour company on 
tripadvisor ... or heee...you are not on booking.com
O.K. that is correct.
I think we are the only ones in Boquete who are not active with these kind of sites. Guest put us on Tripadvisor, that was not our initiative. Friendly when they post a review, but we don't ask for it. We don't want to bother people to do that. Mostly the guests who stay in our Tinamou cottages are very hard working people and have a busy life. We think it is not nice to ask to write a review, while they are on vacation. 
Booking sites...we like to be our own boss... simple as that. Hans is the webmaster of our website and we are still in some travel books...
A lot of companies don't understand us at all...well we are very happy with our approach and love our life and work here in Panama. And of course we are totally happy when we get a nice review  and sweet mails and that nice post where I was starting with ...
Thank you and greetings  from Terry
