In 2018 we went to The Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil staying in the very comfortable Eco-lodge Itororó. Our leader was the brilliant bird guide Andy Foster who is British but has a first class knowledge of the birds based on many years of working at different reserves in this area. The weather was not what it should have been and we had a lot of rain – “but it’s a rainforest” I hear you say. Even rainforests have wet and dry periods. Anyway, the rain didn’t prevent our trips out, although it did delay the plans – the birds don’t like to get wet either unless they are water birds!!
