It exceeded my expectation in all regards. We birded from sunrise to sunset (or as much as Tommy and I could handle) every day. Very good "Bang for our Reais" indeed. Also, I had the opportunity to extend my trip to make it a full two week journey, ending in Ubatuba. There, we (Rick) found just about every local specialty. I was happy to be able to photograph some dull “skulkers” like a Brasilia Tapaculo as well as spectacular birds putting on a show like the Horned Sungem. Rick made it easy whether we wanted twitch new ticks or spend time taking photos. I can only second Tommy’s previous comment about our trip with Rick. It exceeded my expectation in all regards.

Not only did Rick produce all of the local rarities, starting with a group of Brazilian Mergansers, ending with Plovercrest, but his British good humour and various tales from previous trips makes him the ultimate in travelling company. I have birded with Rick (& sometimes with Elis) on several occasions the last 2 years to various destinations in SE Brazil, and am highly recommending him to anyone venturing to the Atlantic Forest and beyond.
