Brazil in General; As usual, this trip was target-focused and not about large numbers of species. On the

recommendation of Ciro Albano we tailored the trip with Fortaleza-based Guide Caio Brito.

Caio Brito www.caiobrito.com for the March 18th -23rd and April 1st-11th sections. Caio excelled at his bird-finding skills

being especially talented in hearing and identifying calls and songs. He had time-served knowledge of all the sites and

usually had alternatives if the target birds were not showing. He also provided his very comfortable Renault Duster 4x4

and did all the driving, covering some 7000+km, as well as organising the hotels, food and birds... Without the help of

Caio I would have undoubtedly missed several good birds and probably not even found the sites. He managed to stay

flexible throughout the trips adjusting the itinerary as necessary and providing options when required. Caio was a first

rate guide well worth the money. He also employed some professional local guides to make sure we maximised the

species and time available such as:

Andre Grassi http://ecobirdingbrazil.46graus.com (and his big yellow truck !) joined us in Canudos and accompanied

and joint-guided in the areas from the Pfrimer’s parakeet site west. I thus had two guides for the same price ! Andre was

outstanding for his work on Kaempfer’s Woodpecker and Rondonia Bushbird amongst others. Andre’s tireless

enthusiasm to get me new birds, delivered new species right up to the last 15 minutes of light on the last day.

Left to right; Me, Andre Grassi and Caio Brito

Jefferson Bob https://www.facebook.com/bobptg at Potengi. “Bob” speedily delivered all the Caatinga specialities

within 24 hours and worked hard to ensure great views of all the species. His knowledge of the area was detailed,

concise and all this without binoculars !! His mother also made us a couple of superb meals.

Wylde at Ariel, whose mother provided an enormous, superb lunch...and made sure we ate it all !

We also met another friend of Caio’s...Thiago Toledo Silva, https://www.facebook.com/thiago a pilot by trade,

but also a superb bird photographer.He helped me out with some very useful photographic tips and made my photo’s look distinctly amatureish !!. Thiago also helped us out at Guaramiranga. He has also produced the Photoshop presentation

which is generously free for all. Thiago Toledo Photoshop Presentation (1).pdf

The north-eastern Brazil guides are a much respected bunch, they are thoroughly professional, excellent bird-finders

and problem-solvers and easy to bird with. They know exactly what birders want and they deliver ! They all made us

feel exceptionally welcome and it felt like birding with friends.

At all times we were made to feel very welcome and had only one bad experience when we arrived at the Barbanera Club west of Fortaleza (which we booked via Expedia.co.uk) to find it abandoned. Fortunately the taxi driver took us to a better Hotel in Fortaleza. The hotels we stayed at were all of a good standard with the Fazendas in Tocantins standing out as the best and most interesting places. The weather, although hot was fine and dry for the most part with just a few showers either overnight or in the late afternoons. We drank bottled water throughout, the food was great and a litre of Slova vodka was about R$ 7 (£1:50 !!).

Daylight hours East coast 05:30-17:30hrs. Tocantins 06:00-18:00hrs.

Currency £1= 5.43 BRL (Brazilian Real). Bradesco ATM‘s would dispense R$800 per transaction, which could be

immediately repeated to get more cash out.

out of the dry tall grass onto an open patch of the path. They were very tape-responsive and one bird even started flying about the vegetation in a very un-crake-like way ! Unfortunately the camera focused on the wrong subject to give a nice shot of the pink flowers !! and when Andre approached the bluetooth speaker another bird flushed.

67. Giant Wood-rail Aramides ypecaha. Common along the roads on route to Fazenda Praia Alta.

68. ASH-THROATED CRAKE Porzana albicollis. 1, Mar 27th and 28th c 2km south of the end of the forest at

Saltinho along the PE-060 in a small roadside marshy area by the Forbes’s Blackbird. Almost immediately after trawling with an Mp3 it flew across the marsh and landed making a lot of noise. I placed the speaker down at the edge and walked back to get great views as it came straight out to inspect.
