Our old friend Frank van der Kallen has been out and about on our old stamping grounds on the coast in Brazil. He visited one of our favourite venues, Paraty. Paraty always made a pleasant change from claustrophobic forest birding; horizon to horizon skies and it was especially attractive as it involved shorebirds!
It was shorebirds that featured strongly in Frank's news, with three species involved, Pectoral Sandpiper, White-rumped Sandpiper and Lesser Yellowlegs.

He also saw a group of Black Skimmers which were a tick for him, and photographed these two Little Blue Herons, the adult contrasting with the white juvenile.

Thanks to Frank for bringing back some good memories of our time in Brazil.
