Wader Quest - Brazil summary (1 Viewer)

Although we spent a lot of time in Brazil we didn't really get a lot of Wader Questing done. São Paulo is a convenient gateway to South America, especially for us with our connection with the country. We spent some time out to be with both Elis' family and our friends. We also cancelled the trip to Rio Grande do Sul as I was having some back problems following a fall in Lima (most embarrassing) which now thankfully seems to have been resolved. So here are the birds we saw in Brazil.
The first was predictably Southern Lapwing. We had expected to see them from the plane as it taxied at the airport, but we forgot that we were landing earlier than normal as we used BA and not TAM this time and it would still be dark. However we soon saw them on the road leaving the airport illuminated by street lamps. We caught up with them again soon after at a stop at Mogi das Cruzes, by then it was daylight even if it was a little dull and misty.
