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.
Left to right; Me, Andre Grassi and 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.
Caio Brito,
Bob
and me
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.

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.

107. Brown Noddy Anous stolidus.
Although fairly common on Naronha, it was
vastly out-numbered by Black Noddy. The size,
long-winged appearance, overall browner
colouration and proportionally shorter bill and
longer necked appearance made id relatively
straight forward.
108. BLACK NODDY Anous minutus. Abundant on Naronha 13-16 Mar. colonies nesting on atolls and on the
cliffs around the island. Groups of birds courting on the beaches and always a few feeding or flying along the
beaches or coastline. Often allowing close approach.
Separated relatively easily from Brown Noddy by smaller size and proportionately shorter wings with a much
faster wingbeat rate. In flight, the neck appeared proportionately shorter and the bill proportionately longer.
The plumage looked much blacker most of the time and the cap more well-defined and contrasting.
109. Common White Tern Gygis alba. Common on Naronha with small groups chasing each other overhead
over much of the island. Several perched birds at Sancho Bay.

of raptor appeared and flew over the clearing just before dusk. It came in and perched in a Cercropia tree
before flying a short distance and out of sight. The next morning it appeared at the top of another tree and

200. BANANAL SPINETAIL Certhiaxis sp’.
4, Apr 11th along the river at Cangucu. A recently discovered cryptic
species that closely resembles Yellow-chinned, but has a different voice and apparently occupies a different
niche being found along the riverside vegetation whereas Yellow-chinned is found further up the tributaries.
Also, the base of the lower mandible appears paler and the yellow chin paler. Perhaps a deeper bill base too ?

secretive after initialy coming in and showing well.
205. CHESTNUT-CAPPED FOLIAGE-GLEANER Hylocryptus rectirostris. 1, Apr 7th at Angelica’s Cavern, Terra

213. Buff-throated Woodcreeper Xiphorhynchus guttatus. 2 birds at Guaramiranga Mar 19th caused me some
confusion until reading that this ssp group eytoni (DUSKY-BILLED WOODCREEPER, Van Perlo) has a white
throat. Caio’s knowledge and checking photos on Wikiaves helped confirm the identification.
214. Straight-billed Woodcreeper Xiphorhynchus picus. Ad and juv, Mar 19th Guaramiranga (left and middle
and on the same tree together) and a Juv (right) at the feeder station Guaramiranga 22nd and 2 ad’s at

bill of the juvs and the buffier head and throat spotting.
215. Narrow-billed Woodcreeper Lepidocolaptes angustirostris. 3, Taquaracu in the cerrado and 2 at Terra
Ronca in much more wooded habitat. An easy woodcreeper for a change !

shows more deep rufous on the throat and upper breast and the supercillium looks more rufous toned also.
242. DIAMANTINA TAPACULO Scytalopus diamantinensis. Male, Apr 5th at Chapada Diamantina. Lured out
very quickly, and it approached to only a few feet looking almost completely oblivious to us as it battered a

A male and another heard calling back, Mar 19th Maranguape.
Apparently late in the season, the birds should have disappeared by
now but as soon as we got out of the car one was calling. The evenings,
we were told, is an excellent time for vocalisations and it proved to be the
case with 1-2 individuals calling in bursts almost up until dusk.

feeding on berries or perched up high preening, but did descend sometimes and stayed lower when it rained.
